Underpaid, Under-appreciated, Ignored - Anonymous employee Columbia Bank Employee Review

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

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.

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

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.
