Working at Aflac in New York City, NY: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York City, NY Area

"I worked as an Audit Manager at Aflac for two years until December 2019. My recommendation: Don't work in audit in Aflac. Here's why. Supervisor: Totally incompetent. He can't communicate yet micromanages. It was absurd that he even checked my email despite his poor ability to speak and write proper English. He always loses himself in verbiage, extending a 1hr meeting to 3hrs easy. He cannot talk constructively, so topics tend to be discursive and desultory, leaving all participants obfuscated and lost at the end. He's a toady to his boss, who leaves this guy unleashed and unchecked and has no idea what really is going on within the team. Maybe he skillfully equivocates things to his boss. Then, he succeeds, as he's "trusted". Co-workers: Nice people who are accustomed to a slow environment. No one is stressed out, so there's plenty of room in his/her mind to be nice to others. They tend to think that what they have at Aflac is best in the world. However, I've seen people who left Aflac as soon as they got an MBA degree. Salary: Average or a bit lower end of average. If you are in finance, don't go work at Aflac. It's a low end. Job: Audit job at Aflac is a joke. All "projects" are travesties in one way or another. If you take a close look, audit at Aflac is nothing but a sinecure. Audit is essentially peripheral, i.e., non-core relative to the company's main business. You chat with people in other teams, collect some info, and prepare reports, which have no true value in it. So, people in audit inevitably tend to aggrandize their jobs to maintain their pride, existence, and job itself. As a result, all projects run by audit focus on their complacency. Once you realize the veracity of what I wrote here, you'll agree with me saying that the audit job at Aflac is a joke. Upward Mobility: Very slim at audit. For two years of my stay there, I've seen nobody who got promoted to senior level. Audit is by nature a back office, so companies pay less attention."
