Pros

Nice coworkers, good middle management, good pay and benefits

Cons

Since the merger with Columbia Bank, the company has spiraled downward. Executive management has recently mandated to return to office for remote workers. Morale in my department is at an all time low, and I’ve heard it’s the same situation with several other departments within the bank. The bank used to have a good work-life balance, but with this new CEO, the company is taking a huge step backwards. Sadly, with these new mandates and lack of compassion and appreciation from upper management, I think the bank will lose a lot of talent, and with the low morale, associates will quiet quit.

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.
