      Pros

      CoBank is a mission Ed based bank serving Rural America. The bank offers an excellent benefit package for employees including 3 weeks of paid vacation that increases 1 day/yr until you reach 22 days. Their 40k match is also very good. The bank implemented a work from home policy pre-COVID but more about that in the Cons...

      Cons

      CoBank management is inconsistent at best. Several managers have received promotions only because of their longevity in a department. Unfortunately those managers tend to have minimal skills on how to effectively manage a group of people and teams start falling apart. Promotions from those types of managers are few and far between, especially if you don’t fall into the white male category. All HR policies are not enforced bank-wide as some are left up to management discretion. At the beginning of COVID the bank implemented a work-from-home policy which was very commendable. CoBank is now in the beginning stages of a voluntary return to office plan but some managers have pressured some employees to return to the office - the “voluntary” part has totally been removed from the employee.
