Pros

They give you all the training you need. They send you to sales school for free.

Cons

They give you absolutely no leads. They want you to address your personal leads first, which I didn't like. You go business to business cold calling everyday. You get 90% "no's" and 10% "yes's". You'll hear "You're the 10th AFLAC agent to stop in here," Takes about 10-12 attempts with a company before they say "Yes." And even after that, you have to return 4-5 more times before you even see pay from that account. Was there 4 months and never saw a pay check. Expect to be in your car 8 hours a day, using your own car and gas. The sales school they send you to is helpful, but it's in downtown Atl, took me 2 hours to get there and 2 hours back home everyday I was there.

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).
