Pros

If you don't mind abuse, you will have a job until you reach retirement age taking phone calls.

Cons

Horrible - Customers are abusive - Agents hate selling for Aflac and are very abusive to us as well. They often call and yell and curse at us because they are mad at Aflac. There is no advancement in the call center. You are trapped because they cannot keep people. There is high turnover because they aren't honest about the role you will really be working. Its nothing like they teach you in training. The training program is awful. Its a complete waste of time. You leave training and hit the floor and its completely different. That is why many people leave once they get to the floor because they are majorly unprepared. Its a complete mess. Poorly run but people who are inept with no true sense of how to run a call center. Constant system issues. Systems go down several times a week, which creates a major backlog for everything. This is why claims are delayed. We have the worst technology. This company is too big to have all the failures we deal with. They also uses companies in India to process claims, and many errors are made. These people don't even speak English very well. Its sad. Dan Amos and the Teresa are so out of touch with the call center, its sad. They probably have no clue how poorly things are being run in the call center. You are micromanaged like crazy. They want you to rush though each call and get the customer off the phone. Most people that work there don't care, and will tell you anything to get you off the phone. Its a cycle, because many of us don't have college degrees, they know they will have a constant flow of people coming and going and they will just work you until you can't be worked anymore and then hire the next batch of anxious people who think they are becoming a part of this great organization where you can grow a career and retire, but you will never move up because everyone has been there for 30 years. You cannot get jobs in other departments either. They have it designed this way to trap you. You apply and apply, and will never be selected.

Pros

There weren't any pros for me...maybe other's may have a better experience!

Cons

I worked at Aflac last summer for 3 months and after working hard and putting my all into this job, I did not make any money whatsoever. I did get leads and they all fell through because the employees I spoke to after told me that they weren't interested in just dental and vision and voluntary benefits. They wanted medical. I am now getting billed $80 from Aflac and I don't know why. They asked for me to return all the literature they sent for sales and I have about 30 folders made up for sales presentations but I have to deliver these back to Aflac. They will not pick them up and I'm not going there during Covid. I invested over $300 to work there and I am not asking for that money back from them? I had to go back to my old job where I was guaranteed a paycheck.
