Pros

friendly people lots of training

Cons

Uneven distribution of existing books both of the other agents received over 600 clients from a previous agent I got 0. Have to sink or swim and pay half or more of that salary to buy useless leads. I was told when hired I would be doing more financial advisory as I had done at Edward Jones, but in reality I was pushed to sell life insurance over everything else???

Pros

Strong financially. Has expanded to 40 states over the last 10 years. Company is A+ rated and is still seeking to continue to expand

Cons

Working conditions in IT are tough right now. New management making a lot of changes which makes it a challenging place to work. Hiring more overseas contractors; large layoffs in the first quarter.

Pros

A good place to enter management if you previously worked at Target.

Cons

Will not promote or provide raises to loyal, productive, hard working employees. Will provide robust salaries for Management and Director positions to previous Target employees who are vastly under qualified. The new CIO is in over her head and is trying to use the same playbook that was used at Target to restructure the iT areas and outsource entire departments out of the country. I worked there and left for similar company of larger size once I saw where things were headed. The IT area wasn't in the best of shape but is now much worse after the Target team layed off or ran off most of their top talent. Skilled employees have been placed in unfamiliar positions with no training. I assume this is to give them poor reviews in order to lay them off and outsource their position out of the country. There was a great sense of family atmosphere at Country before the new CIO came in. That all went out the door in favor of outsourcing to India and hiring Target emplyees all while laying off countless loyal employees who were only years from retirement. I wouldn't reccomend working at Country Financial for the reasons above in addition to significantly below industry average pay and overworking employees. I definitely would not reccomend any of County Financial's products because the CIO from the Target data breach debacle is now in charge of protecting customers data at Country. Brilliant huh?
