Vantaggi
Working for Aflac was one of the best things that has happened in my life. My son who has a chronic heart condition needed me to be available, and working with Aflac afforded me the opportunity to work my own schedule. I have been with Aflac 5 years now, and like any job, it's had its ups and downs. The pro's have been my management team has been very supportive in my growth. I am coached, encouraged to meet the goals me and my manager set, and then achieve them. The opportunity is great if you can get in and learn the business. Have an understanding of sales, and know that there are ups and downs financially with this. Stay positive, learn how to encourage yourself. Learn from those who are doing well. Focus your business as a business and know that it can take time to get where you want to go, but keep pushing and you will get there. You have to be realistic with this business, and work it. Find your mentors, and you will find your way!
Svantaggi
If you are lucky enough to have supportive management team that will help you meet the goals and benchmarks set by the company to win the awards set up for you in the beginning, it can be great, but if you don't, that can be disappointing. I've seen it both ways. Keeping your nose clean, doing what you are supposed to do will help you, but if you get mired down with the politics, then you will get caught up in the mess and probably leave.
