Pros

Salary is great. There are opportunities for advancement and endless opportunities for continuing education if you are looking to obtain certifications. They also offer a decent tuition reimbursement program.

Cons

Since the new CEO came on board the company has started going down hill. There are departments being closed in many areas of the company. The company is consolidating the work so that the jobs of the eliminated departments are being put onto other departments to handle in addition to their current duties, thus increasing the work load without hiring additional employees. This has resulted in increasingly poor customer service throughout the company. There is also a 'good old boy' mentality in many areas of the company. If you are friendly with the right people, you can go very far. If you aren't much for 'schmoozing', the odds are not in your favor.

Pros

If you do not have a job, Country is a good job.

Cons

There is so much favoritism with this company. Books of business are awarded to the "favorites" I agree with another reviewer who stated you are misled during interviews. Country will pay 1/2 of your marketing expenses however during the interview, you are led to believe your investment is $300 or so...It is more than double that PER MONTH!. You are also led to believe that you have a system and products that are so much superior to other companies which is not the case. Country does make you get 200 names of your "warm" market which is friends and family. You will go throuhg a training program that is self study and work at the same time. HONESTLY, YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY TO GET ALL OF THE TRAINING CLASSES DONE AND MEET YOUR BENCKMARKS. If you do not meet the "bechmarks" you will be docked in base pay then fired without question and your book will go to the favorite, not distributed evenly to all of the hard working agents .
