Pros

The benefits offered to employees are nice. They have a plan with 0 out f pocket premium for employees. This is a great plus and very unusual now days.

Cons

Everything else! Working with the HR TEAM IS A NIGHTMARE! You are not properly trained because no one has time and you will have an ever increasing workload with no appreciation. They brag about their core values, but when someone actually tries to follow them they are reprimanded and fired for ridiculous reasons! BEWARE!

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.
