Pros

Fantastic benefits- health insurance is low in comparison to previous job, 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick, plus 1 week paid volunteer hours. Low-stress work environment (at least on the teller side of things) Paid incentives

Cons

Entry-level tellers are only contracted 35 hours per week, so inconsistent if thy give you full time or not. Policies are constantly changing, and the merger with Columbia bank has made the overall bank less community-focused and more business/sales focused. Inconsistent information- supervisors will tell you to do things one way, but the branch manager will come in and say to do things a different way.

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.
