Pros

Community focus - full time employees receive 40 hours PTO for volunteer work each year. Doing the Right Thing - employees are empowered to provide exceptional customer service. Flexible - Didn't feel bad about working partial day to take care of personal things

Cons

Wages - moderate raises and poor bonuses in my group. Hard to job shadow, it seemed like if you weren't already in the department you wanted to work in, you couldn't get in.

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.
