Pros

Pays employees up to 40 hours to volunteer in our community; certain amount of autonomy; supports local organizations; not your typical bank; unlimited incentive program for doing the right things for our customers; best bank for small business and nonprofit organizations.

Cons

Training is not well executed; too many new procedural initiatives; institutional investors drive greater performance demands

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.
