Pros

- Rarely have to work more than 40 hrs a week - Really nice benefits (immediately vested 401k and nice bonus) - Bonus is tied to your own performance and that of the company... which means you will get a bonus of some sort. - Willing to accept new ideas for innovative technology (IT specific) - Really nice/fun people - Very low turnover - Lots of opportunities to improve your interpersonal skills via classes (from both HR and external contractors). - Management is very transparent.

Cons

- Pay isn't as good as it could be at other companies, but the pros outweigh the cons. - Some people are very hard to get a hold of when you need to work with them - Sometimes low turnover keeps those who don't work as hard in the work place for too long - A little too conservative... we just got flex time, but it would be nice to be able to work from home when necessary.

Pros

Financially speaking CoBank is a stable company. The yearly bonus payout is competitive,

Cons

It's referred to as "CoBank nice" which is another way of saying it's a passive-aggressive culture. If you dislike endless meetings, this environment can be frustrating. Strong resistance to change at the leadership levels - despite claims of being focused on transformation, real progress is very limited. Extremely slow pace. Recent months have brought significant organizational and leadership changes, but very little acknowledgement about the impact those changes have on associates. PTO is definitely not competitive.
