Pros

Flexible hours and can work from home

Cons

If you are not in a big city, then do not apply. They don't give you leads, and you might go months without pay or no pay at all.

Pros

I am impressed at the length the company will go to insure that a client is payed on their claim. They know that this can be a bad time for people, and they make sure that they do everything they can to get those people their money. The claims side if the best side of Aflac.

Cons

If your in IT then stay far away from this company. Yet another case of massive outsourcing. Also, you're in the commodity column of the balance sheet, not the asset. That means your disposable. Put in 15 years of hard work there, pfft, your just a commodity to be bought and disposed of.

Pros

Make your own schedule, can work partially from home. Although you need a car for this job, your trunk essentially becomes your travelling office, instead of sitting at a desk all day. Although you pay 100% of your gas and client meetings/ lunch/ prizes expenses up front, these are all tax deductible each year. Weekly contests where each representative can win prizes or small amounts of money.

Cons

Only paid commission, need to have enough money up front for insurance license course and test. Also need to personally purchase all software and materials for client presentations. Need to attend weekly meetings from 8am to 5pm at regional office, unpaid. Takes a while to establish client base. Eventually quit because after I expanded my client base for nearly two years, my inmediate manager sought me as a partner and wanted to split commissions (the only way you get paid) and only give me 30%. She seriously wanted to keep 70%! Also, she wanted me as a partner so badly because I speak Spanish and she doesn't. I was so insulted I just never went back again, as I already had a night job as well. By the way, you will need a second job/form of income or substantial savings to start this job.
