Pros

Work schedule was flexible; you could basically set up how and when you wanted to work. Opportunity to make money and move up was there, if you made the company money, you made money, and you were promoted. Aflac is a good product that you could feel good representing and selling.

Cons

After about a month I realized that this was a churn-and-burn factory. Every day they would cold-call people and companies to get new business and new employees. It was purely a numbers game and I felt “dirty” every day I left work. Everybody is hired and used for who they know to buy product. No “real” training. Management loves the money makers and to hell with the rest. No “trained” managers, just the best volume sellers promoted to a management position. Managing means you are in charge of printing the cold-call list. I felt I worked with some scummy people that would do anything for a buck.

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).
