Business Outlook
Pros
I have worked for COUNTRY for 11 years and enjoy my career. The company provides a salary for those looking to get into the business of insurance and financial services sales, which is hard to find. I started off as an employee Rep and after 3/12 years converted to an independant contractor owning my own practice that I built from scratch. There is a lot of opportunity for growth and they encourage and provide compensation for professional designations.
Cons
You have to put in a lot of effort. This is not a career for someone looking for sales to come to them. You have to network and you have to sell. While being provided a salary, you have to meet sales benchmark requirements. A sales job is tough.
