Thank you for your comment. CoBank is in a strong financial position, and we have shared our success with our associates through a generous short-term incentive cash program that every CoBank associate is eligible for. We are proud to share these earnings with not only our associates but also with our member-owners through our patronage program. All associates were also eligible for merit increases to positively impact their base pay. We would like to thank you for your time at CoBank and would encourage you to speak to your manager about your current workload and compensation.

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.
