Pros

Base salary is not too bad. You don't have to pay for office space and you do have an office assiatant to help you if they are not too busy with the managers.

Cons

They push P and C insurance, not a true financial company. Low payouts as well. Benefits are awful and no retirement/401K. Don't come here looking to be a financial advisor. You will sell insurance. Also, the company is just about all under 35 years old.

Pros

Like most large companies, COUNTRY prefers to hire from within and makes job postings available to current employees prior to posting them externally. Therefore, if you get your foot in the door and you are smart and talented, you can move up (or sideways) quickly. I started in the Billing call center, was there 13 months, and then moved to a salaried position as an eLearning Developer. After 10 months I was offered a promotion within the job family and a huge raise, but I am leaving for even more money and less busywork at another company.

Cons

This is more about my specific situation: I was only at COUNTRY for two years and can't fairly speak about the company as a whole. I was going above and beyond my job description and training all my peers in the department, but I was at the bottom of the payscale. My boss and her boss recognized this when I started to look at other opportunities, and offered me a new title and a huge raise, but it was too little too late.

Pros

A flexible work environment is one of the best benefits’, in my area at least, to work at Country. Also a partners plus bonus program also provides an addition to ones salary. Pay is comparative as long as you are allowed to be promoted to your equivalent job position.

Cons

If you are not in the good old boys network your chance for advancement are slim. Go out drinking with you manager and you have no worries. Though insurance is offered for health, vision, and finally dental, the costs are far from the competition.
