Aflac Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Aflac full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great company that actually cares about their employees. They have great benefits and the work environment is professional but also fun at the same time.

Cons – It is hard to work your way up through the company because people really do love working here so there isn't a lot of people stepping down or leaving the company. So spots in upper management don't come open very often.

Current Employee – been working at Aflac for less than a year

Pros – Flexible hours, Fortune 200 company to represent, excellent products to sell. My trainers and coordinators were excellent.

Cons – Difficult to make money consistently and quickly. Everybody is independent, so your experience is based on who recruits you.

Advice to Senior Management – Bite the bullet and re-structure the field force. Carpet bombing has damaged the reputation. Figure out a way to pay agents for service so that your current accounts don't fall off. Work harder at broker relationships.

Former Employee – worked at Aflac full-time for more than a year

Pros – As with any place where you work as an Independent Agent you have freedom and endless income opportunity. This is a great product.

Cons – Recruiters(Regional Sales Managers & District Sales Managers) make big promises to get you in. All they really want is to meet their recruiting goals, and use you to get to all the people you know. This floods the market with agents meaning you are competing with way too many people. Almost every cold call attempt requires getting someone to forget the last Aflac agent they talked to, and give you a chance.
