Columbia Bank (WA, OR & ID) Reviews

Pros

Company is high on ethics and culture. It has a great learning environment.

Cons

Pay is lower than similar companies

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

They do not pay based On experience

Pros

Great culture and amazing place to work

Cons

Pay is not competitive. Need to adapt to new technology.

Pros

Managers are generally pretty flexible and support a good work/life balance (this can also depend on your role/location). They encourage volunteering. They will take into account your time with a bank you are transferring from and give you an "adjusted service date" that allows you to get additional weeks of vacation sooner. However nobody will tell you about this option because they don't want people taking advantage of it, and it's like pulling teeth to get them to follow through with this.

Cons

Pay is not competitive, benefits are well under par for this size of bank, parental leave is not paid, HR is very unprofessional and inefficient, systems are very outdated, and the facilities/buildings are not updated or maintenanced properly (we're talking things like regular plumbing issues in buildings and sewage seeping up through the floor then the carpet never being thoroughly cleaned). I really wouldn't suggest Columbia Bank. There are so many banks/credit unions out there, you don't have to settle. People only stay here so long because they get "comfortable", and management has a habit of constantly force-feeding you the idea that this is the best place to work.

Pros

great place to work at

Cons

poor management needs better leadership

Pros

Good training, advancement possible, okay culture.

Cons

Time off, lots of turnover, keeping old management.

Pros

Company cares for its clients and employees dearly.

Cons

Limited opportunities provided to advance

Pros

I had a secured job.

Cons

No opportunity for bonuses even though they say there is, management is catty and fake, loan officers were mean to you. Asked you to do overtime for no reason.
