Pros

Hard working and talented associates that could make a difference if allowed to. Paid volunteer time and a very diverse staff.

Cons

Since the merger the executive management has proven they do not care about employees and maintaining a work life balance. Return to office even if PT has been a disaster and a slap in the face. No consistency and difficult to get anything accomplished. Under staffed so be ready to work harder and under more pressure!

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.
