Pros

You can set your own schedule. A salary is provide but you have to pay for half of your leads, half the cost of give aways for events or all and you pay for gas, miles on your car and have to take the pictures of the houses you list. Price increases on auto and home owners insurance in Illinois so not always competitive. Good job for recent college graduate until they find another career.

Cons

You never own your book of business. You're building a book of business Country Financial owns.You will be asking family and friends for their business. You will have to call leads in the evening and on weekends when you run out of family, friends and referrals. You may not have assistant so will need to do clerical work too.

Our base salary can fluctuate (increase or decrease) after being held accountable to sales goals – based off Financial Representative’s ability to meet or exceed those goals. We aim to provide this flexibility to create some additional incentive to promote growth as Financial Representatives grow their books of business and work towards entrepreneurship.

Pros

Great people and work environment. Nice to have a salary to start if you are new to the business, good training to begin your career.

Cons

Contract becomes difficult to work under, they have a very limited selection of products and when you are captive, you can become priced out of market quickly.
