Pros

The sky is the limit if you can actually do the job. Minimum supervision. Set your own schedule.

Cons

Dog eat dog. Aflac contracts 100s of associates in your area to flood the market with associates. Management encourages associates to support each other, but really associates mainly support the managers by helping them to win trips and bonuses. 98% fail. The 2% make very good money. There is no real help to succeed past your initial training. If you produce numbers that help the managers, then they will help you. While you are independent Aflac does have a management structure that you must deal with. Once you are successful you can ignore management most of the time. If you are struggling they will try to get you to quit. For every 100 who start, only 1 or 2 remain after 24 months.

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).
