Pros

Team was collaborative and really want to help the people in the trenches doing the day-to-day work.

Cons

1st day on the job: 1/21/15 - Last day on the job Noon 1/28/15. Reason: "Don't fit AFLAC culture", until I asked for specifics...I was then told I was "too aggressive" for following up daily on the procurement of a laptop & Visio (requisitioned at time of job offer...before 1/19/15) which I needed to be a Business Process Analyst (mobility required to meet with SMEs and visio needed to document process flows) on a "Rapid Improvement Event" scheduled for 2/9/15. Got that? 2.5 weeks to document processes for a highly visible project and 1 week spent without the tools required & requisitioned to do my job. Specifically told by HR that I was technically competent to do the job, I was just "too aggressive". I never received any verbal communication that I shouldn't be pursuing resolution of this...just "BAM" you don't fit in!

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).
