Pros

Benefits, PTO and reasonable work hours.

Cons

IT was 1990/early 2000s technology and needs to be improved. Management is not receptive to improvements.

Pros

I've worked for several different companies, and CoBank is by far the nicest place I have worked. About once a quarter the executive management holds an open meeting with all employees where they talk about the business, and any employee can ask any question. That takes courage. CoBank is also very generous. Other companies have a lot of volatility in benefits, bonuses, and even whether people still have jobs because they do lay-offs, and I always feel that CoBank is consistent and stable. I trust my manager, and I trust my coworkers. I've been around enough to know that every company has great managers and employees, and some who aren't as great. Dealing with that part takes time, and I've personally seen evidence that CoBank management pays attention to issues, and addresses them. I think CoBank is one of the best places to work in Denver and I feel lucky to be a part of a great company with a great mission.

Cons

CoBank employees are spread across the country and work on many different floors in the main headquarters. I wish there were more opportunities for interaction between departments so I knew more people at the bank.

Pros

Good if you are rounding out your career and you want to coast to the finish line. Staff-level co-workers are great to each other and very conscientious. Easy work pace. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Terrible leadership (or lack thereof) and politicking.
