The Hard Way Bank - Credit Analyst CoBank Employee Review

If there is a harder more tedious way to do something, that is the Cobank way of doing it. They have this sick obsession with perfection even during a time when they are short staffed. They make you do things that are unnecessary just because the approver wants it that way and it has nothing to do with swaying anyone's decision to approve or deny the loan. There is no work life balance as you are always needed and can never get away unless you want to burden your colleagues with your work while you are out. This makes you the bad person which is tough. I say this as I am a great employee that cares and wants to get promoted. If you are a slacker and don't care, I suppose you'd be just fine. It is like my peers like to brag that they no longer accrue vacation time because they are at their max because they haven't taken vacation days. The pay is way behind their peers. Your opinion and previous experience means absolutely nothing to management. They are stuck in the "this is the way we have always done it" mentality. Lastly, if you are conservative or a Christain, you best stay quiet as that mindset is not welcome here.
