Pros

40 hours of paid community service a year, but in my store, there was not enough staff to be able to do the community service during work hours, so had to volunteer on the weekends.

Cons

under-staffed, hostile work environment, belittled on a daily basis, felt more like a child than an employee. The manager needs more people training skills. Favortism was very real and the manager showed her displeasure. Went home every night for four months in tears and went to work every day walking on egg shells. Not a good environment.

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.
