Pros

At the "single location" entity, you are able to work independently (lack of supervision), which will motivate you to personally learn, and develop upon your own natural, as well as adaptive behavioral style. Hence . . . nuturing you to become more desireable in an organizational structure that values integrity, competency and skills.

Cons

Job Descriptions are unclear . . . too many people doing "what you think is your job" . . . and taking credit for your work, causing lack of motivation. Most employees do not have confidence in the current, senior leadership. If you are productive, and not the type of person that "sucks up", then this Company is not a good fit for you. If you are lazy and have time on your hands to surf the internet all day long, while collecting a paycheck, this is the perfect company for you.

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.
