Pros

Integrity of leadership, support for communities served by Columbia Bank and my co-workers who are incredible. Overall workplace culture continues to improve - look forward to feedback from first ever all staff employee engagement survey results which was recently completed.

Cons

Burdensome regulatory and mandated compliance requirements which all banks and financial institutions must adhere too - of which a significant number are not value-added for the customer nor the bank.

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.
