Aflac Employer Reviews

Sold insurance to workers through their employers. I learned that this product is sold by many other insurance companies, and at a lower rate. The management competes with the agent, often taking a part of the agent's hard earned commission. The turn-over rate in this field is huge, more than 50%. The hardest thing about this job is that it is 100% – more...  commission and 0% benefits without support from superiors. The best thing about it is leaving. That's why so many do. – less

-I spend almost all of my time in the field. If I'm not out prospecting, I am making phone calls, sending emails, or attending networking meetings.

-Selling the need is key to over coming objections and making sales

-Management is as involved as they can be. We are all very busy with our own projects, but they assist me whenever I need it.

-Co-workers – more...  are awesome

-The hardest part about the job is getting decision makers to give me the time of day. many of them have bad impressions of AFLAC agents, don't see the value in our products, or are too busy and don't want to make time to meet up. – less

Excellent training, leadership, and workplace. Leaders will surround you in a wholesome environment.

AFLAC is a wonderful company to work for. They offer positive incentives for their employees. They are very informative. The products are great for the public and they do exactly what they say they will do.

A typical day consists of a great deal of cold calling and prospecting clients. Many hours spent on the phone and in the field. I have learned that agents can be unethical when it comes to helping team mates. Certain management can be ruthless if you fail to produce at their required pass leaving out in the work place to learn and adapt on your own. – more...  The hardest part of the job is the many rejections you obtain from business owners and the over saturation of field agents in one area. The part of this job to me is being my own boss and growing at my own pace. I would recommend starting slow at a part time pace with another part time job to keep income coming in on a steady pace. Overall, I think that their are great individuals in the organization that will help you grow but finding them can be challenging. As a District Coordinator, you can not be all about the money, it must be teaching new associates the correct way to successful. If not there will continue to be a high turnover rate. – less

Use your time wisely, it is the landscape in what will enable you to succeed in the insurance industry. You need to find and qualify your leads. Then you need to get in contact with the business owner and try to schedule an appointment to go over the program.

Good job if you can work on commission only basis, and like to do cold calling on businesses.

uneducated people that want to make a fast buck

horrible

working here is like at mcdonalds people come and go good people leave and the stupid people stay

Great company to work for, friendly management & very helpful!

A typical day consisted of me processing from 75 to 150 inbound calls per day. I learned to be a more active listener. Management was kind and had an open door policy which made for a good work environement. The hardest part of the job was the changing schedule which employees has little control over and the most enjoyable part was the diverse work – more...  force as well as the diverse customer base. – less

Aflac is the type company that understands that in order to have productive employees it needs to invest in them. They do so in several ways, from training to fun employee appreciation activities.

This is a highly professional organization with a dedicated management team. The treatment of all employees and contractors was always fair and equitable. There was ample work place flexibility balanced with room for growth and benefits to match.

Cold/Warm calling
sell supplemental insurance

The mentor is not a mentor, too many other things goin on to give me the attention I need to get started

I really liked the products available from AFLAC, and I thought the value to the customer was very good

Good company when it comes to upper management in the Northwest Georgia area. The training program that Aflac heavily advertises when recruiting would be much more beneficial if it was actually coached in the field. Overall, this is a great opportunity for those seeking great financial reward, true believers of 'you earn what you are worth', and having – more...  the support of the Aflac branded name. – less

I learned to be self sufficient; and to keep my time management skills intact.

They provided the training and then it is all you. You have to be a go getter and very social. A typical day was cold calling and calling warm leads. To try and set appointments to go over the products with potential clients. It could have been a great job if I was not an at home mom with 2 toddlers.

A typical day at work is drama.. Sometimes people gets you involve in situations and then run to management so that you're the blame.

Aflac is a great company. It allows you to be as successful as you want. The incentives and culture are amazing.

This was commission only, which sucked, hard work output for little pay. The management sucked also. What job security??
