Pros

Great health benefits. Most of the people you work directly with are very nice and helpful.

Cons

Company has been completely disorganized since the merger with Columbia. Upper management is not transparent at all about big changes being made. Pay is below industry standard for most positions. Growth opportunities are virtually nonexistent if you don't personally know someone with some sway in the company.

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.
