Pros

Umpqua really contributes to the communities they serve and for the most part is a good company to work for. Management treat staff fair and are always very approachable.

Cons

Umpqua could do better at decentralizing, investing more in regional offices to support corporate staff to assist in alleviating the stress, time, and costs related to commuting to the corporate offices in downtown Portland.

Pros

Small Company Small Team New Building Moderate Workflow Need to be self-driven - getting work done by yourself with no help Some managers believe in Work Life Balance

Cons

Small Company Small Team System Issues Teams aren't good at collaborating If you're not able to complete work on your own without help, this is not the job for you. You might also be training yourself, looking for guides/guidelines yourself, and figuring things out on your own. Slow systems Too many meeting repeating the same information because no one can make a decision
