Pros

Growing or plans to grow which equals opportunities

Cons

Too many issues to realistically grow how they want. Need lots of tech and procedure improvement. TERRIBLE maternity leave. Have to use all of your vacation time and sick days then go on FMLA. If you’re a female working at Columbia Bank, having a baby might ruin your career—or you might have to choose between time to bond with your child or a job/paycheck.

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.
