For a Temp job, this one was great- High energy, fast paced and fun environment. - ECommerce Customer Care Representative Columbia Sportswear Employee Review

Positive environment, great training, pride in products and technology.

Seasonal employees get "up to 25 hours" but I have only been scheduled up to 15 hours a week.

Pay is above industry standard

Columbia has the most toxic work culture of anywhere I have ever worked. Employees live in fear of being fired for the slightest transgression. The company makes it known from day one that they are constantly watching you. Other co-workers will report you for taking too long in the restroom. Managers are expected to sell their souls for thier stores. I was reprimanded for telling my staff that I have a life outside of work. I was expected to essentially be on call 24/7 and instructed to tell my team what time I eat dinner with my wife if I did not want to be contacted then and only then. You will be given a barebones payroll budget and expected to operate a store as if you had 10x the employees on staff at all times. You will have absolutely zero work/life balance working for this company. When District/Regional managers, or any coporate partners visit you will be expected to work unlimited overtime with no recognition for your efforts. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this company as you can.
