Vantaggi
I was marginally employed when I contracted with Aflac. It has been great for my resume and I have managed to make some money. I will absolutely try to keep my contract with the Company while working another job. The people are really nice, the programs are something you can believe in and once you settle in with the company you can set your own schedule. Once you know what You're doing the money is pretty easy too.
Svantaggi
Training and equipment. State offices provide training which is excellent. However, the training provided by local offices lacks substance and the expectation has been that new agents do nearly all of their training at home, without much guidance. This has felt unsupportive to myself and many agents I was hired with. Equipment. Aflac has you use their own laptops for presentations and enrollments and they finance one for you when you've made enough money. However, until that point you need to get one form either a supervisor or another agent, which has been a real problem in my office. In addition what laptops are available, have commonly been in disrepair or dysfunctional so I have wasted a lot of time fixing equipment that isn't mine so that I can do my job.
