      Pros

      40 hours a year to volunteer. Good medical and dental plan. 401 K. Weekends off

      Cons

      I used to work for Sterling Bank and we "merged" with Umpqua Bank. Honestly I hate it. Management is horrible. If you have a problem you can go to higher management cause they don't care. It took 8 months to FINALLY hire someone after being short handed. I was pregnant at the time too and it was stressful. Also, as a formerly sterling employee, I make less than what Umpqua bank people make even if they just get hired. I've been with the bank 3 years. It could just be me, but I don't recommend working there.

      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.
