COUNTRY Financial – “Joining COUNTRY Financial was one of the best decisions of my life.”

Pros

COUNTRY Financial is an insurance company that offers multiple lines of business to it's clients. Financial Representatives are taught to build personal relationships with clients to truly assess their needs before recommending a product. We often hear the stories of the people COUNTRY has helped and those of people whom refused to address the needs. These stories motivate me every day to make sure we are helping anyone that needs it. A family can be changed in an instant if they ignore the needs in their household. I am backed by a great company when we say that we can help. Having a company that makes me feel this way is a big reason why I am more than satisfied to work here. When you then consider the competative salary and generous benefits, this is a place i can see staying with for the long haul.

Cons

We are not a very well known company and that is frustrating at times when talking to others about what I do. The pay could be a little higher, but I am not disgruntled by it. Other workers in some of the service and call center areas complain about other items, but I think that has more to do with their responsibilities than the company.

Advice to Senior Management

John Blackburn is a leader that you can stand behind. He started as a Financial Representative for the company and leads by example to do the right thing. He is available to the employees of the company and is down to earth in his dealings. I can approach him just to say hello and he does not take offense like other CEOs of Fortune 1000 companies would.
