Pros

Time Off, Benefits, Hard working coworkers

Cons

Complete 180 after merger. Micro managing execs making bad decision after bad decision. Q4 earnings has them scrambling. Upward mobility is not encouraged. I have not seen a single internal promotion in the 3 years I have been with the bank. Lots of talented people have left in the last year.

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.
