Pros

Smaller bank, community bank feel. There is a feeling in the bank that we are there to service the community. That we want to serve the communities that we are in.

Cons

The bank is behind the times in relationship to technology. The systems that we use are not very advanced and it is difficult to maneuver at times through the systems

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.
