About Us Aflac plays a vital role in helping people when they need it most - when they’re injured or ill. We offer access to programs that help provide financial protection and added peace of mind so our customers can focus on their recovery not their bills. Unlike major medical, Aflac pays policyholders directly (unless otherwise assigned), so they have added financial security and control to handle whatever life brings.

Our local team is part of the nationwide brand, but also maintains our own local culture. Our culture is hardworking, while being fun and inclusive. We work primarily in a business-to-business sales environment (Monday - Friday during normal working hours) to help companies enhance their employee benefits with Aflac.

Our intent is always to help others, and we will go out of our way to support our team and our clients. Our leaders are passionate about having a work/life balance and should you join us, you will have ownership of your own scheduling.

We pride ourselves on having great people representing our brand, so you can expect exceptional, multifaceted training that includes certification. Management and advancement opportunities are also available, including a management-in-training program.
