Pros

Understanding managers. Willing to help (if they can) with any requests. Working from home is allowed.

Cons

Too many silos. Hard to get anything done. Security overreaches to a point that it is hard to get anything done (instead of helping you to perform duties safely). Horrendous Network with latency that will make you cry. Almost no communication (showing signs of improvement)

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.
