Disorganized/Mass recruiting efforts/say whatever it takes to get you to invest your money to obtain licences required for the position.
Financial Representative (Former Employee), Seattle, WA area –
Pros: they do offer med, dental, life insurance to new hires, a small base salary
Cons: unreasonable goals, poor management, no systems training, lack of support, poor retention rates
BE careful before deciding to invest your funds to secure a position with Country. In the Agency that I worked at, they have NOT kept ONE employee in the last 6 years. Financial Reps usually are fired within 1 year because the goals are so difficult to obtain. The goals have changed over the last few years and retention is NOT a priority,managment just – more...  wants to keep their career agents happy. – less

Easy to get stuck here
Client Server Support Analysist (Current Employee), Bloomington, IL –
Pros: work life balance
Cons: no room for advancement, this is a job not a career
This is a small company with small company problems. If you not part of the good ol' boy network then you will never succeed at Country. There is a diversity program but it may just be for show. Racism and sexism is not overt but defined ingrained. This may be the only place where someone with a masters degree and diverse experience is at a disadvantage – more...  to someone who has only a H.S. education and has worked only one job their whole career. Many employees stay for their whole career because of the great pension benefits. It's typical to hear of someone retiring with 35 years of service. – less
