Pros

The benefits package is affordable for single people.

Cons

Cobank is a Government-sponsored entity like Fnnie Mae and Fredie Mac. As such they sport an unwritten guarantee from the Federal Government that they will never fail. Because of this, internal politics take precedence over efficient and effective job performance. If you can play politics, this company is for you. The 8-hour work day is a myth. Working from home is NOT an option.

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.
