Pros

Lots of training, helpful staff

Cons

Too much emphasize on p&C. They don't want to deal with financial stuff. Life insurance is the bread and butter

Pros

Good people. Everyone that I worked with was top-notch. You have to ability to get help from anyone in the company, at any time. There is a base salary that lasts 3-5 years and probably unheard of in this industry. You are able to help most clients as Country offers a full-service plan (auto, home, life, commercial, investments). Outstanding incentives and company is constantly running sales contests.

Cons

Benchmarks. One policy missing for the month and you lose $1500. At many times, I felt like I was spinning too many plates between meeting the benchmarks and servicing my existing and inherited book. Another con is the mandatory requirement that P and C clients join the local farm bureau. Granted, the membership dues are minimal, but if your client forgets to pay it, there insurance is cancelled and they are left without insurance (and many times they have no idea).

Pros

Company I wanted to retire from until I was told to leave for reasons I still do not understand. Loved majority of my co-workers and still keep in contact with quite a few. Company has a great benefit package.

Cons

Computer systems always seem to fail at most inopportune times. Agents/Financial Representatives are treated like royalty and "are never wrong" even when they are. Company is afflicted by cliques and croneys (especially so in mid-level management) i.e. if you are not part of or are included in certain circles, it is impossible advance. If you go into work, do your job and not want to participate in gossip or office politics, you are destined to fail.
