Pros

The team that worked for me was excellent. I was able to hire competent associates and make a positive impact to reduce and prevent fraud.

Cons

CEO and other Executive Management is out of touch with how to run a bank in the 21st century. Spent more time explaining to management why their decisions to under-staff, and half complete technology roll-outs were a bad idea. All positions in my department were underpaid and yet way overworked.

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.
