Banker....not a lender.

Pros

Pays decent, mostly good people. A lot of friendly people below leadership positions.

Cons

Very limited banker experience at top levels. Leadership is nearly non existent. LEADERSHIP....I mean.

Thank you for your candid feedback. It sounds like there may be a disconnect on some level, as the bank has a deep bench of experienced bankers, growth has been strong for several years and our customer-owners are as much of a focus as ever. But something is clearly on your mind, so we encourage you to discuss your concerns with your division leader, or email us directly at feedback@cobank.com.

Congratulations on your first year with CoBank and thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are growing quickly and we’re excited to be able to bring in many new faces to the bank. Rest assured that building capacity is top of mind as we grow, and you can already see changes in some parts of the headquarters building. We’d love to hear any additional comments or suggestions you may have. You can email us at feedback@cobank.com.
