Pros

At Umpqua Bank you are empowered to make decisions regarding how to best deal with customers. The culture and the atmosphere at Umpqua Bank is much different then any other job I have ever had.

Cons

There were not many opportunities for growth at the particular branch. The technology was outdated and a lot of out time was spent dealing with various technical problems.

Pros

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

Cons

There is quite a bit of downtime in-between customers, but this is also a pro because it means there is ample opportunity to get more customers through the door and banking with us.

Pros

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership. Typical "Good ol' Boys Club" type politics, and too many convoluted policies and procedures to keep up. Hard workers are awarded with more work, while others are allowed to skate by under the radar.
