Pros

There are alot of opportunities to give feedback and examples of things that would improve the bank. Even to collaborate in groups addressing surveys. Many managers provide opportunities for employees to weigh in on perspectives and make you feel your voice matters.

Cons

Feedback on culture, RTO perspectives, employee retention is disregarded even as it’s revisited over and over. Negative feed back is tagged as disengaged employees even if they are performing in their roles. Employee survey results were terrible for 2024 and mostly due to early layoffs, chaotic RTO roll out and bait and switch tactic of hybrid roles vs RTO culture. Feedback from departments was transparent and clear about their concerns. Executive management does not see a reason to adjust their direction based on feed back. Even though we have opportunities to share ideas direct managers will report that even though they value the idea their hands are tied by executive management to do anything different. A lot of finger pointing to why the culture is what it is, upper management points down and direct managers point up.

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.
