Pros

Stable and good work life balance.

Cons

Lots of politics, not many opportunities unless there are vacancies from retirement or required as a result of politics. There used to be a pension available for people who were there before 2010. Many are just coasting. Manager quantity has a wider spectrum than average firms from very good to very horrible. No reviews of managers by their direct reports nor metrics evaluating or holding managers’ behaviors accountable.

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.
