Pros

Good benefits, good culture, stability

Cons

Fear-based Management. There is nothing HR will help you with. What they will tell you to wait and see if the situation will get better... Really??? There are some good managers, but more of those who have no leadership and people skills at all. As other reviews mentioned, no upward mobility you are stuck in same position. No support to learn and move to a different area of the organization. It's more who you know than what you know. Expect to have a higher knowledge without the training given.

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.
