Pros

Ability to work part time from home. Before merger many positions were full remote. New CEO ruined that and wants everyone in an office to be less productive.

Cons

Company has turned into another national bank that makes employees another number. Pay has become stagnant and raises at most are 2%. Lack of leadership allows for mediocre results.

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.
