Pros

The benefits are good and for basic coverage there isn't a monthly charge.

Cons

They're over their heads and ultimately their customers suffer. Their lower and mid-management employees aren't good leaders. Those doing the majority of the work are under-appreciated. Not enough value is placed on helping the customer.

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.
