Pros

Good benefits. Some flexibility. Casual dress.

Cons

Required in office more than any other area of the bank. Expectations of 50 hr work weeks, if not more. Understaffed. Management likes to keep staffing lean to make bottom line look good (is the feeling), which causes burn out and higher than normal turn over. Not family friendly. Hard to use vacation time. Performance ratings are not always done individually, but as a group and limited reward. Training is not developed and really has never been structured.

Thank you for your feedback. With the arrival of the pandemic in 2020 the bank has moved at a faster pace given some large bank projects, like offering Paycheck Protection Program for our customers. CoBank has also adjusted its working environment significantly to adjust to the remote work environment. Every role in the bank was evaluated for a hybrid status – over 95% of jobs now have hybrid flexibility to work from home. Additionally, the entire CoBank University curriculum was restructured to be offered virtually or online. As we return to the bank, we are offering a blended model of in classroom and virtual sessions, so that associates have a choice in how to attend their training. We are constantly continually evaluating the staffing needs for our teams. The bank has made changes to accommodate new work demands, are actively prioritizing work and is committed to continuing that business practice to make work life balance a priority for our team.
