CoBank Response

Thank you for your comments. Constructive feedback is always appreciated, as it helps us to evolve and improve. We’ve recently updated our performance management process to encourage more ongoing feedback throughout the year. Managers are encouraged to solicit and reflect on feedback from key stakeholders, but we don’t conduct a formal 360 review at this time. With regard to time off, all associates start with at least three weeks of vacation, which increases with tenure for all associates. Finally, CoBank provides equal employment opportunities to all associates and applicants without regard to sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, veteran status and military status, or any other factor that may be protected by law.
