Pros

Benefits. Great vacation time earnings. Amazing volunteer program which allows you to get paid for up to 40 hours of volunteer time.

Cons

No PTO. High work volume which calls for extra hours at the last minute and having to work weekends. Promotions and raises are scares. Raises don't keep up with inflation.

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.
