Pros

Great community evolvement, benefits, and a company that is doing very well in the bad economy.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of work expected with very small raises, hard to advance in the company, long time employees not treated as faithful great employees. Also, the management is terrible and bad managers are not treated as such. It just rolls down hill if you know what I mean.

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.
