Pros

Great employees who try. Low to mid level managers doing what they can for their people (but know it is not enough).

Cons

CEO and senior leadership have no original ideas. All Monkey See, Monkey Do. Chased off most of the good talent. Ridiculous ultimatums to get RTO going (even weeks when you are on PTO, you are supposed to badge in three times a week now).

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.
