      Pros

      The people. Everyone gets very close, like in most Stockholm Syndrome situations. Diverse workforce at the worker-bee level

      Cons

      The bank is run like IBM in the 80s with narcissistic, old, white men at the helm. Management is by fear and intimidation. Who even knew companies were run like that still. All of the technology is clunky and outdated, built by contractors who have long since left as well as any employee who might've known how a system works. Middle management is so scared of losing their jobs, they are completely ineffective except at sowing discord among teams by passing blame back and forth. I urge you, if you have any other option, do not ruin your career and skill set. The latest bingo buzzword is "psychological safety." With layoffs of truly high-performing employees who actually do the work, while the management level continues to grow and get even more top-heavy, there is no such thing.

      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.
