Columbia Sportswear Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Other store manager peers support each other

Adapts well to change and challenges

The customers are the best

They give me pizza and bathroom breaks

We are talked to like real people and not talked down to.

Partnership, support, respect and good camaraderie

Having our supervisor and manager always asking us if we have questions or help in asserting with customers etc.

The brand itself and products

Review from Operations Dept

A wide range of people. Young, old, differences in sexual orientation and multiple ethnic backgrounds.

Review from Operations Dept

The company only cares about the customer being catered too even if it means we take a loss on returns that are damaged. What's positive? It's a job.

Review from Sales Dept

Risk is rewarded, even if it isn?

Work Hard, play hard. Work life balance IS a real thing!

Review from Operations Dept

Everyone seems to care about what's going on at every level.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

One manager ruins the whole enviroment

Balance out your director to analyst ratio .

Pay your new workers or you will never keep employees long term

Review from Sales Dept

People are negatibe and hate change

Hire leaders who care about the quality of design

Hire more diversity in leadership roles, hire high level winning candidates, attract from outside of state and companies like Patagonia. Make better quality apparel that doesn't focus on margin and cutting costs. Salary is not competitive in all levels and roles from workers associates and managers.

Stop Nepotism, stop only hiring locals, attract outside talent, hire minority leadership, pay a competitive salary like the north face

They need to pay people a living wage and respect their workers.
