Every place is different, have they told you anything about their interview style? I used to work in the Recruiting dept at a company that used behavioral interviewing. The theory behind it is that past behavior is indicative of future behavior. To prep for those kinds of questions, start thinking about specific incidents at your previous jobs that demonstrated skills Aflac may be looking for, like organization, people skills, and other technical skills that will apply specifically to this job. They'll be looking for details about the situation, how you handled it, and the outcome. The questions aren't difficult, but I remember feeling blindsided by the questions because they were like nothing I'd encountered before and I felt like I was taking a long time to remember/think of examples to answer the questions.
There are lots of different interview styles, but you should be well served just by reviewing your skills in your head so you have examples readily available when they ask you questions.
And don't focus too much on the hours during the interview. Save that for when they make you an offer. It can give the impression that you're not really interested in THEIR company and THEIR job and instead want them to fit into your life. It can be off-putting and could cost you the job if they have another candidate who appears more enthusiastic about joining their company than you do.
