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.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Aflac full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
You are rewarded for hard work. Excellent compensation, stock bonus, trips, team environment, contests, training, and the best part is your making a difference in your policyholders life.
Cons
It's not for everyone- high turn over because people realize it takes work. Starting your business from the ground up. Some people struggle with commission only sales. If you have a strong work ethic and don't mind working hard on a consistent basis - then you will do fine.
Advice to Management
Continue to provide the training, technology, and us tools necessary to help get our business started. I had great training and love my career with Aflac.

Pros
Freedom to be your own boss and set your own hours. This is a very community-driven company with people who will give you advice if you ask. The bonuses are very enticing especially once you get through your first year.
Cons
The biggest con would be that your first year is, from my experience, going to be your most stressful so before you apply make sure you ask what type of workload it takes to be financially stable during that time.
Advice to Management
If you are training new associates, do not give preferential treatment to one at the ecpense of others.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Aflac full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Very loose hours, pay based on performance, great for social type people. You can feel good about what you're selling and know you are not hurting anyone.
Cons
Constant, constant pressure. You are paid only on commission. There is not guaranteed amount you will make, if you don't perform, you will make nothing. That being said its tough to put in 40 hours a week and walk away without any customers.
Advice to Management
Prospecting overlap causes a massive amount of inefficiency. RSC's have a huge influence on the performance of individual agents, good in my case, but could be bad in others.

Pros
If you have the unlimited support of your family and friends and have a way to sustain your self through the hardship of a straight commission job for at least 2 years then this job is perfect.
Cons
Impossible standards
expect allot of out of pocket expenses
no salaryAdvice to Management
Do not lie in the interview process and you will have a better employee retention rate. Perhaps consider at least a low paying salary to keep people afloat through the rough patch that is the first 2 years
