Great Place to Work

Pros

CoBank is a great employer with dedicated leadership and a mission oriented purpose. Good benefits, flexibility in my role, and a competitive incentive plan all make me enjoy my job immensely.

Cons

Pay could be better, but overall it’s a great place to work! Clearly the IT team was going through a restructure, so many of the negative reviews reflect that. Other teams have not been impacted in this way.

Pros

I would say Cobank offers decent benefits as a whole. Compared to if you are coming from other industries outside of banking. There is a possible bonus component paid out the following year around March tied to your position. I have gotten one every year so far and it makes that month quite nice in addition to the regular paychecks. 401k up to 9% match On Site Cafe (Cheaper Quality Meals around $5) Free Fountain Soda while Cafe is open Free Parking on Site Hybrid Work Environment-Team Dependent Tuition Reimbursement up to 10K yearly

Cons

Competitive for advancement to other teams or departments. Would say the bank is more top heavy managers, vice presidents, supervisors compared to more middle tier or lower positions. Learning how the farm credit system works can be a bit of a learning curve and take some time.

Pros

Most of the people are wonderful, intelligent people full of kindness and integrity. CoBank has a great mission.

Cons

Upper management lying to cover up their ineffectiveness is a norm. Bullying and favoritism is a norm. Immature managers that allow bad behavior. HR unwilling to take action against workplace harassment. Upper management making up and spreading lies about people is a weekly occurrence.
