Pros

It has a good mission, talent, opportunities, and kinda protection by the feds and state. Good benefits.

Cons

I give the new management three years of survival. They call themselves the digital gurus but have no full-cycle experience. I've been there and seen that in other banks. These folks have all come from other midsized to national banks not known for innovation, and hence, your bet is as good as mine. Digital transformation, depending on vendors and probably reading 10 books on the topic, will make anyone a walking, talking digital transformation guru. But let's see if there are chops away from just enough to rake up a resume and then find another executive job. The senior most guy, who is a vet of the farm credit is very good at learning buzz words. Mark my words, :) You wanna be a digital transformation guru, join a product company, a tech company, or a smarter bank.

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.
