Pros

Competitive benefits, great building, stable revenue, flexible work for some.

Cons

Horrible culture in IT. New leadership team has completely destroyed what was once a great place to work. The behavior of the new CIO is some of the most immoral, unethical, ruthless and dishonest treatment of human beings that I have witnessed during my IT career. Great leaders forced out. Poorly handled layoffs. Deplorable treatment of the remaining associates. Poor legacy leaders just trying to save their jobs. I'd go on, but more detail would probably get this post bounced for "confidential and proprietary information". Do yourself a favor. Stay away from here if you're an IT professional.

Pros

Financially speaking CoBank is a stable company. The yearly bonus payout is competitive,

Cons

It's referred to as "CoBank nice" which is another way of saying it's a passive-aggressive culture. If you dislike endless meetings, this environment can be frustrating. Strong resistance to change at the leadership levels - despite claims of being focused on transformation, real progress is very limited. Extremely slow pace. Recent months have brought significant organizational and leadership changes, but very little acknowledgement about the impact those changes have on associates. PTO is definitely not competitive.
