Pros

When you ‘make’ money it’s deposited into your account within a few days. You get to meet lots of people. You’re not tied down to an office all day. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Unless you have a ton of contacts who can influence business owners to offer Aflac to their employees you don’t make money. The lake/porter county is saturated. Every business has been visited more than once. Most people are sick of seeing agents and feel we waste their time. If anyone in this area wants Aflac they’re already a client. ***completely commission*** You can make money if another agent takes you to an open enrollment but they’re going to take their friends and family before they take a new agent. They’re basically using you for your contacts and waiting for you to quit. This is not the job for someone who is trying to support their family. No matter how many of their flyers say this is a great place for women/latinas it’s a great big good ol’ boys club.

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).
