Pros
Great culture. Growing regional bank. Good at NOO CRE and C&I lending. Very diverse portfolio.
Cons
Need technology system upgrades but so do all banks.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
surprisingly inconsistent in adhering to written policy, astonishingly outdated processes for a financial institution

The actual work was monotonously easy and repetitive( almost more of a con, honestly) Downtime was nice when there was any. If you value surfing the web for a paycheck. If you're looking for a dead-end easy call center job, and you are partially lobotomized this may be the gig for you.
Cons
Management was completely detached/clueless from daily operations. Suggestions to improve processes blatantly ignored or denied without explanation. There are massive security issues I cannot detail here. All I can say is I am glad I do not personally bank here. Company culture exhibits painfully cliche and tacky family rhetoric that suggests occasional praise and gifts from the dollar store supersede a living wage. Don't get me started on their 1990's clip art collection sprinkled in every email.

If you want to start you career in banking somewhere —apply to the first open position at a Columbia Bank —the management treats their people best I’ve ever experienced.

Sales goals —but I’m pretty sure all banks these days have sales goals.

Cons
Only negative was that we were unable to do more in-person client meeting but this was due to COVID and nothing on CB's side.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros

Cons
The company has made so many mergers it has a ton of computer programs to learn.
