Pros
I put thousands of dollars and years of time striving to get hired for some stable $60K entry level salary from whatever insurance company. For me, choosing Aflac particularly is, without a doubt, worth more than $60K a year. The insurance marketplace is gaining new forms of competition, and Aflac has all the resources to lead and set the bar on what will become the standard. Not only does Aflac have the depth & history, but also Aflac straight up has been the most ethical insurance company for 9 years straight! I feel incredibly lucky to represent such ethical company. -Ethical -Very fulfilling life, culture is great! Everyone needs everyone else to succeed. -Fair commission, Residuals for life -The commission life is not for everyone, but all the veterans are flat out amazing people to work with. You establish great relationships with whoever you want to work with and plan/strategize for bigger projects! -Training, Resources, Tools. Top notch! -Adaptable, Progressive, Modern, up-to-date with technology (for the most part) -So much room for career growth in various areas
Cons
-Nowhere near efficient -Fragmented -Need to recruit educated people
