Pros

The associates at the bank truly care about their customers and their employees. Employees do receive bonuses for referring customers and closing deals, but it is never expected to push product on customers, especially if it's not something they truly need. The atmosphere is kind, genuine, and courteous, and management is more than willing to work with your life situation and help you become the best person and employee you can be.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the computer systems, they were often slow and would freeze. However, it was something that was being worked on and helplines were always available and ready to assist.

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.
