Pros

The People outside of Management are great, the main reason I stayed for 10 years. Decent Medical benefits.

Cons

Management has a holier than thou attitude and has no clue as to the day to day of any IT position in the environment. Work effort and lack of accountability from management make this a horrible place to work, Do not apply for an IT position, you will be underpaid and over worked.

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.
