      Pros

      Gets you started in the business. Gets you your securities licensing so your ready for a real firm with real financial products, not the goofy pseudo-managed accounts these guys offer. You really aren't doing your clients any justice with the lack of financial products here!

      Cons

      Cut and dried benchmarks , instead of sliding scale depending on production. You can have a mind blowing month in auto and home and miss one product in life or financial and they will dock you $1000.

      Smoke and mirrors

      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 .

      Look elsewhere for good salary, advancement, meaningful work, or benefits.

      Pros

      Great work/life balance; Enjoy time off whenever you need it. You have the luxury of almost NEVER losing your job, as long as you show up every day and don't harass your coworkers. Also, you can rest assured that you probably won't even be talked to on a daily basis, if you are a shy or antisocial person.

      Cons

      Very stagnant company. Overly conservative; any new ideas or progressive thinking are shunned and frowned upon. The pay does not encourage one to work hard and aspire, but just be complacent.
