Pros

Flexible schedule, work mostly from home/car, coworkers mostly helpful and friendly, office was easy to get to, lots of company dinners/lunches/events to socialize and unwind. Company is upfront about the pay system (100% commission) but heavily exaggerates the ease and time in which an employee can land their first account.

Cons

Scattershot approach to training and day-to-day operations. Nearly impossible to succeed without prior insurance experience, contrary to what they may have you believe. Most business owners/administrators unfriendly due to oversaturation of agents in almost every major city. Was emailed multiple times after leaving to inquire if I was interested in "employment with Aflac", obviously a blast email to everyone in the area with a college degree and without a job. Company relies heavily on leads, connections, accounts, etc. left to them by unhappy agents who are required to forfeit all materials upon their leaving the company after working hard for a few months and still seeing $0 in their bank account.

Pros

No upper limit on how much you can make. If you can somehow convince the owner of the company to sit down with you and your mentor and sell them insurance you get a cut.

Cons

You don't get paid unless you close deals. Have to pay out of pocket for almost all costs. Vast majority of people are not interested in insurance.

Pros

Make your own schedule so there is flexibility. That's the only pro.

Cons

Commission only which is basically impossible to live off of unless you don't have any bills. Reeled in with lies of how great it will be and how much money you will make...simply not true. Don't waste your time!
