Pros
Freedom of schedule, great income potential, good training, pay is quick after a sale.
Cons
Lots and lots and lots of cold calling, knocking on doors and rejection. There are a lot of Aflac agents so businesses get tired of the Aflac calls but every once in a while you hit one that is open to meeting. No benefits, independent contractor is employment status which means you pay a lot of taxes at the end of the year. It's difficult to start building the business and make money and most agents struggle. Some do well but most leave after about a year.
