Pros

Relaxed atmosphere. Annual goals are very achievable. Coaching is available if you just ask. VERY supportive local management. Brilliant solution to digital banking, BFF App!

Cons

Online banking and in-store technology is years behind the competition. This creates extra work for the customer facing staff. BFF App isn't available on Android yet! BFF should be available for business clients too.

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.
