Thank you for submitting a review. CoBank is a financially strong, dependable, cooperative which means that the bank can provide a competitive benefits package, along with a great 401k match. Our success is shared with our associates, this past year, the bank did give our associates a generous corporate factor and bonus at the end of the year that was voted unanimously by the board. As for vacation time, our associates receive a minimum of 15 days of vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 10 days of sick leave annually, along with one paid day off each year to volunteer with eligible organizations. Vacation hours are accrued on a semi-monthly basis. If you’re having workload issues please speak with your direct manager.

Thank you for taking the time out to submit your review. Our benefits and training opportunities are top-tier and give our associates the opportunity to successfully grow within their field and to become high-performing leaders. During the pandemic the country has endured a great deal of change. Like much of the country, CoBank has developed a flexible-remote working style and the decisions that have been made for the bank may not be suitable for all associates. We are working hard to make ensure that our teams are well positioned for the future and meet the needs of our customers. You can rest assure that everyone here has a purpose to serve and does so within a culture of excellence and top performance.
