Pros

Country is a good conservative company with many products to offer if they get their act together. They are losing clients because of the sales force coming and going. Billing department sucks and some of the system in place that they brag about improving things only contribute to the failure of most financial reps and client acquisition. Rates are not good at all either if you are in certain states, which makes it very tough to cross sell. Upper management don't care regardless.

Cons

The benchmark contracts for financial and insurance reps is constantly changing. It is trial and error but at the expense of the sales force. Management isn't helpful and it is a revolving door. You get assigned a book who have had 20 other agents previously assigned to them so there's no client trust. The company doesn't care about keeping good people even if they spend money on training you.

Pros

Generous salary while you begin in a new industry. I truly enjoy working for this company. Great opportunity for anyone with a sales background and entrepreneurial spirit. The company invests a lot in the people they hire and does a very good job at making a first impression.

Cons

The buck stops nowhere. Support is lacking. If you ask for help you will be pointed elsewhere and eventually end up back where you started. Without the help of other reps who have figured things out on their own you'll find yourself left in the cold. It often takes hours to do something that should take minutes due to faulty software. I have been on appointments twice where my computer stopped working completely. The line between company hero and company zero is very thin.
