I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Aflac (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2015
Interview
The first interview is a group interview that is actually a sales pitch. I found the job description to be deceptive. It was classified as role in human resources, but this is actually commission based sales. There is no base salary, therefore the benefit consultants are required to generate new leads with corporations with the intention of selling insurance policies to their staff members. I was very disappointed and found it to be a waste of my time.
Scummy behavior, like others said it turned out to be a group interview even though it was never directly stated. When you're preparing for a one-on-one interview and then suddenly find yourself in a group that's absurd
The interview process had two stages. The first interview focused on providing an overview of the company, explaining its operations and culture. The second interview was conducted via call for a more in-depth discussion.
It was a relatively quick process. After attending the information session, I signed up for the Zoom interview. The entire interview lasted less than 30 minutes and was very straightforward.
