Pros

Great benefits and yearly bonus.

Cons

Pay is below market value (even after the “market adjustments” that were done), cost of living raise is skipped some years. Depending on what project you are working on, you are expected to put in a ridiculous amount of hours. Holidays, weekends, with no additional compensation. IT and SDLC best practices are not followed and there is a major lack of testing which leads to their IT systems being a complete disaster.

CoBank Response
4y
CoBank has made significant adjustments to respond to the changing pandemic environment and pressure of a volatile job market. CoBank has evaluated compensation against market pay for all roles which resulted in market pay adjustments for many of our associates. We also classified over 95% of our roles as hybrid for a better work/life balance as well as adding additional headcount to ease workload pressures. We paid record high merit and short-term incentive awards, which were supported and approved by the Board of Directors of CoBank. If you would like to discuss your comments further, please email feedback@cobank.com.
