Aflac Training Coordinator Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – You contact an Aflac Representative, They notify the Regional Sales Coordinator. The Regional Sales Coordinator contacts you and schedules interview. Based on the outcome of the first Interview you are elected for a second interview. At that time you get information on studying for your insurance license and set up for the classes, if you do not already hold a health/life insurance license. Once hired you are assigned to a District Sales Coordinator's team where you are directly trained.

Negotiation Details – You sign a contract with Aflac, pay the 'franchise fee'. Attend licensing classes (you also pay for). Take insurance license test, which you also pay for.

Interview Details – I first got a call late in the afternoon about coming in for an interview the very next day. Decided to attend and arrived and was shown to an upstairs conference room where a few others and I gathered for a presentation from one of the district managers. Very smooth talking presentation about why everyone in the room should go sales even though myself and another were there for management positions. After a breakdown on how Aflac did things and some sweet talk about why commissioned pay was so much better than a salary, I decided to go ahead and see what the personal interview was like. Came back the next day for their manager trainee position and was basically given more sweet talk about how the position worked and why I was such a great fit for it. I was never really asked any questions about why I wanted the position other than a simple why do you think you could succeed in this job. I was offered a position under the district manager halfway through the interview but said I wanted to think about it for a bit.

Reason for Declining – I declined because after spending time thinking about the interview, I realized that the guy really only wanted me for his 5% overhead bonus that all Aflac people get when they hire someone on. Also, I didn't want to take the risk of having to wait a few months for a paycheck when I would be spending a lot of time driving around helping the manager get more money for my work.

While I was waiting for my interview, one of the sales reps in the office made a cold call to a business but was met with an employee benefits person who wanted nothing to do with them. I also have been told by other people I know who have interacted with Aflac that they are constantly bombarding people with calls about either becoming a part of the machine or switching the company insurance over, not a good reputation I feel.
