Pros

Country is actually a good company to work for if you never had any insurance and financial experience. I considered their training to be superb and their intentions to be the "best provider of financial security in America" genuine.

Cons

However, not in Southern Nevada. Country is a very conservative company that is not willing to make hard decision in order to grow. Their products are no different than what can be obtained from other major insurance carriers at a fraction of the cost. This makes selling insurance and financial services extremely difficult with them. No name recognition and rates that are so out of reach of most people, it does not matter how hard their financial representatives try. Their affiliation with the Farm Bureau is detrimental to both the financial representatives and clients. The client has to maintain a membership with the Nevada Farm Bureau in order to be eligible for insurance with them. If the client forgets to pay their $15 membership, Country will cancel the policies. This affects the client with the Nevada DMV which in turn will fine the client for the lapse in coverage. Ultimately, representatives miss their benchmarks due to lack of production because they are unable to write new business and are too busy fixing mistakes from previously fired representatives. Retention rate after one year is most likely less than 10%.

Pros

Numerous Products Great Company financially Fair to everyone Lots of support Great job security for those who produce also great vacations for great producers

Cons

Being good at most things doesn't work here...you have to be good at everything or you'll lose your job. Too many products means the company does nothing really great but everything just okay. Pay is one of the worst in the industry. Too many secrets at this company. Their advertising budget is non-existant. if you work in a state that require Farm Bureau membership it's the worst thing about being an agent.

Pros

36000 yearly salary, good training program in Bloomington,IL. Good products and many options to suit many clients needs. Everyone has to have insurance

Cons

primary focus is on life insurance. You could be the leading producer of property and casualty, but if you are not producing life insurance you could be fired, and you are not given any leeway on benchmarks. must purchase around $500 in leads a month through the company to write enough business to survive. company makes you take your 6 and 63, but you dont actually sell financial, when you have financials you have to get Country Trust bank involved to sell them.
