Country Financial Employee Reviews for Agent

"Opportunity is there for a career driven only person"

What do you like about working at Country Financial?

"The opportunity to make a great living is there. If you are a hard worker willing to sacrifice your personal schedule and life, you will be more successful. There was some flexibility to your schedule, but that is where a person not disciplined can get into trouble. You have to be a self starter, there is no babysitting, and if you are willing to take it upon yourself to be held accountable, you will find its great."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Look yourself hard in the mirror, and ask yourself if you are dedicated enough to work 60+ hours a week, calling friends and family to solicit sales, and are willing to sacrifice your personal life to get your career started. If you are, then its a good company, if you are a person that cares what everyone else thinks about you, its not a job for you."

What don't you like about working at Country Financial?

"In order to be successful, there is a lot of sacrifice, and it is hard on family if you are expected to be around. You need to put in 60 hours plus a week prospecting, networking, and cold calling to have a chance, and if you can't dedicate that time you will not be successful. You will also be expected to call friends and family to sell them products, and most likely you will lose some friends that don't want to be sold anything."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Do not paint a pretty picture about how rich you can be, be hard and brutally honest on how hard it is to be successful. The amount of time and sacrifice that will be required was not stressed in my interview, instead I was built up to believe it would be easy to make 150K+ and have fun doing it. Also, stress how leads and cold calling works, if a prospective agent can't see themselves calling strangers and getting shot down 90% of the time, then don't hire these people, I saw this frequently."

"Great place to work!"
