Pros

Insurance benefits were affordable 401K match

Cons

They advertise a great culture, but reality is lacking. Seem to be having identity crisis on what they want. They have completely changed the organization, goals, etc multiple times throughout the past 3-4 years. Announced they are closing 1/3 of entire footprint by 2020.

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.
