Pros

Company cares about their employees and their development. Most managers are good managers. The company truly tries to do the right thing for the customers, bank, and employees. Keeps its employees in the loop of bank strategies and why, and how impact can be made.

Cons

Bank is getting more in to sales and quotas as it’s their only way to expand. Usually not feasible. Job expectations are difficult. Pay is not great.

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.
