Pros

Pays decent, mostly good people. A lot of friendly people below leadership positions.

Cons

Very limited banker experience at top levels. Leadership is nearly non existent. LEADERSHIP....I mean.

Thank you for your candid feedback. It sounds like there may be a disconnect on some level, as the bank has a deep bench of experienced bankers, growth has been strong for several years and our customer-owners are as much of a focus as ever. But something is clearly on your mind, so we encourage you to discuss your concerns with your division leader, or email us directly at feedback@cobank.com.

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.
