Great Company!

Pros

I've been with Aflac for 2 months now. Aflac is a great company. Right after I got hired, they sent me to training to teach me the basic and assigned me a district manager to guide me and assist me in every way they can until I can handle things on my own. It certain will take quite some time. Up to now, I am still unable to handle alot of situation. There is a lot to of things needed in this career. It isn't a one time deal with the clients. There are many needed to follow up even after you get the accounts.

Cons

If you don't have saving to help you to help you through for the first year, it's hard to make it in this career. There is no steady income, every week/month is different. Their statistic shows 90% of the newly hired may not make it through the first year.

Pros

Ability to make a decent living once you get going. Good incentives.

Cons

Was told I wouldn't have to cold call, just present. Once I was hired I was told to make 50 cold calls a day, then 100, then 200... Manager told me he wanted to help me set accounts up, but only ever showed me himself signing up clients at already existing accounts. After about 1000 cold calls I finally got somebody to agree to meet with me, only both managers had already given up on me at that point. They wouldn't adjust their schedules and so my meeting went nowhere. Expected me to be first to show up and last to leave although I told them in my interview that sharing a car with my wife I would have to show up after I dropped her off and leave to pick her up, which they didn't mind when interviewing me. They made sure to enforce that I wasn't getting anywhere because I wasn't working hard enough, never taking any responsibility. That part was really frustrating for me. I had no money after my first month and that didn't bother them. Bothered me because I had bills and everything they told me in the interview ended up being a lie.

Pros

Good caring company with great benefits and perks. Senior leadership cares for its people. Great EAW and other events. Some people are nice.

Cons

Racial IT-Business Intelligence group. The new management profiles individuals by race and color. Stay away for good or join some other team.
