Aflac Employee Reviews about "great company"

Pros

Great pay and benefits, great company.

Cons

Tarnished employment record without a chance to even know why until an outside inquiry was done years later!

Pros

The structured training program and guidance from the management team is great! You really can build your own business from the ground up with backing from a huge, great company. You can have flexible hours and there is no limit to the amount of income you can make. The harder you work, the more money you make.

Cons

Flexible hours.. you have to be self-motivated and driven to work when no one is making you "clock in 8-5".

Pros

Commission package is generous if you're able to keep up. Aflac is a great company, they genuinely care about their customers, and want to help people.

Cons

As an insurance producer you are responsible for finding all of your own business entirely. It's B2B soliciting and cold calling - 150 cold calls per appointment, 40 doors walked through per appointment are the statistics. If you can get one appointment per day then you'll do great, but you MUST have a drive to succeed and a passion for sales. If you can't manage yourself, and can't make one appointment per day then you will fail, and it is 100% commission as a 1099 employee. No benefits. Either you can enjoy B2B sales and soliciting or you can't, there is no in between with the job. If you can't, then you won't make money. If you're on the fence and need a guaranteed paycheck then find a W-2 position elsewhere. I have it a shot because I liked the idea, I liked the idea of being my own boss. I just couldn't bring myself to ever cold call, I hated it once I started trying it, and door to door was better but I just didn't have the drive for it. Just know what you're getting in to. You can absolutely succeed if you have the drive and the passion, but it's a hard road your first two years.
