Pros

Friendly people and great team atmosphere.

Cons

As I'm sure others will say, the commission only pay is rough. Expenses are also through the roof -- gas, food, ducks to leave at businesses, etc. The market is so saturated, I would get told "you're the third Aflac rep today" on multiple occasions. We would also have daily meetings and would sometimes have to come in on weekends for prospecting events (which we had to call our "numbers" in for) all while working COMMISSION ONLY. Any and all negativity or questioning was met with swift rebuttal and accusations of "not being a team player" or "not having what it takes".

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).
