COUNTRY Financial reviews

Extremely high p & c rates make it nearly impossible to build a book. DO NOT believe it if your manager tells you that once you go "career" agent your safe. This is just not true. If you are outspoken or don't tow the company line your as good as gone. Most of the district managers are clueless. Ask for impossible life insurance numbers to hit in these economic times. Want you to sell investments and managed accounts but their "money managers" have that impressive Illinois State college degree. Seriously, most of their so called money experts don't even have masters degrees, look it up. The new CEO is clueless. Sad to say it because there are some good people working here but this is a sinking ship.

No one knows the company, management can't change a thing, bad pay, way too many hours to make benchmarks, prices for insurance are terrible, training is long and doesn't prepare you for the real world, the people in the midwest running the company are out of touch. Turnover in Oregon is 100%. Just my office lost 6 reps in a year. The cusotmer always looses when you have that much turnover. Its a marketing scam, sign your family and friends then they keep them after you get fired!! They say how much money they invest in you but then fire you on the spot because you forgot to make some planning station reports. If takling with both sides of your mouth was a sport they would be the best, tell you one thing and then push you out the door.
