Pros

The "Cons" so outweigh the "Pros" that the Pros are completely irrelevant.

Cons

While working at the Tillamook branch I was injured on the job, but instead of understanding and empathy, I was treated like a criminal. When I sought medical treatment through workman's compensation, Columbia sent a document containing inflammatory and false statements made by their employees to every doctor I went to for medical help. Columbia did not attempt to make any accommodations for me to continue working for them, until a few days before I was let go. Since that time, I live on food stamps and my physical condition has deteriorated to the point of lost mobility in arms and I am in constant pain. I continue to seek medical help, but few doctors are willing to do much for someone on welfare.

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.
