RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Aflac full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Freedom to be your own boss, trips, bonuses, renewable income (instead of one time commission), career instead of just a job. FORTUNE 500 and a World's most Ethical Company. Great training (at least here in Wyoming) and a family mentality. Great family/work balance.
Cons
No base pay, can be a slow start at first, you have to be very organized and self-driven, have to be licensed in life and health to sell insurance (but my management help with the process).
Advice to Management
Don't loose focus on your clients, while trying to grow. Opening new accounts is wonderful, but not at the loss of your current customers. Balance is possible. Also, reward great customer service along with great sales.

Pros
Aflac is a great company to work for. The only department that I would not recommend is the Call Center. The pay is decent and so are the benefits. Also, they appreciate their employees and do fun things always.
Cons
Working in the Call Center can be very stressful. Certain departments you have to know people in order to get promotions.

Pros
-Colleagues are some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. Even though it's 100% commission based, it didn't really feel like we were competing with each other. Usually I felt like we were all working together to help one another succeed. This seems to be ingrained in the culture
-Great training (training in other parts of the country might not be as good, but it is really strong in the CA South Coast area)
-Training is ongoing, not just at the beginning
-Supportive management
-Goal-oriented
-Great products give a sense of fulfillment. You feel like you are truly helping people.
-Flexible schedule is possible once you have a several accounts under your belt
-Company values and ethics are held in high regardCons
-When you are starting, you may be putting in a lot of hours until you build your book of business.
-You are only paid when you sell. This can be good or bad, depending on what drives you.Advice to Management
Keep up the great company culture & high values

No employee benefits.

Please be sure that district managers provide guidance to agents; some of them do this beautifully, some seem not to care.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Aflac full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Position is Steady work, insurance benefits start immediately on day one but end the day you leave not the end of that month no weekends ongoing training provided
Cons
Focus is on meeting numbers, call statistics and call time, you must take breaks at assigned time and if a call runs into your break time causing your break to start later than scheduled you must cut your break short or face negative implications for "returning from late"
Advice to Management
Allow agents ability to think outside the box to resolve issues rather than do "just enough to complete the call as quickly as possible " allow more flexibility for realistic situations that wherein employees are not "docked" for providing assistance
