Pros

No excuses, get after it, and have a better life than you can imangine. If you commit to being successful, an are willig to work HARD, nobody can stop you from succeeding. The trips ROCK!!! You don't have to have a degree to make six figures with this company. You own your business. Aflac pays their claims, better and faster than expected. You get to help people!

Cons

Getting started....the first couple years are the hardest you will experience. If you don't take responsibility for your success, nobody will. There is no group medical insurance plan for you to get into, you have to pay for yourself. There is a lot of rejection from business owners even though they do not truly understand Aflac.

Pros

Aflac IT was one of the best companies at balancing the work/life mix. I never felt pressured to surrender my time with family to the company. The people on my direct team were amazing to work with. Other teams were hit or miss.

Cons

Aflac IT has a tendency to promote externally. To get promoted, either threaten to quit or actually quit and come back in a couple of years. This is not a rule but an observable trend. Senior management can be very demanding and at times, acidic. Cover your boss, and you'll be fine.

Pros

I was marginally employed when I contracted with Aflac. It has been great for my resume and I have managed to make some money. I will absolutely try to keep my contract with the Company while working another job. The people are really nice, the programs are something you can believe in and once you settle in with the company you can set your own schedule. Once you know what You're doing the money is pretty easy too.

Cons

Training and equipment. State offices provide training which is excellent. However, the training provided by local offices lacks substance and the expectation has been that new agents do nearly all of their training at home, without much guidance. This has felt unsupportive to myself and many agents I was hired with. Equipment. Aflac has you use their own laptops for presentations and enrollments and they finance one for you when you've made enough money. However, until that point you need to get one form either a supervisor or another agent, which has been a real problem in my office. In addition what laptops are available, have commonly been in disrepair or dysfunctional so I have wasted a lot of time fixing equipment that isn't mine so that I can do my job.
