American Income Life Entry-level Management interview questions

The interview process was fairly routine and quick. Phone interview, followed by two 1:1 interviews within a week are so. All the reviews on here are true. The ad itself was very misleading. It didn't mention any commission , rather it stressed leadership and interpersonal skills. Naturally, I was excited for the position and prepared myself for management-type questions. I should have known something was wrong when I wasn't asked any leadership questions. Simply, they are looking for insurance salesman. Don't get tricked into thinking it's a management position. It isn't. You're meant to pay for training, drive to client homes (catch : there's no travel allowance ). It's 100% commission, no base salary. The ad itself mentioned a salary of 50-60K, but then when I asked the hiring manager he said this was "the average", not a base salary. Granted, the potential is there, but I couldn't work for a company that deceived me from the very start.

Disorganized and very loud music. The interviewer was late for the first and second interviews. I think this is a good experience for anyone getting to know the interview process. I could not verify the claims of the company during my conversations and I felt that I wasn't given straight answers when I asked questions. The interview process was a short 1:1, about 15 minutes and the second interview is a group interview in a classroom style setting where a presentation is made. I think the receptionist called my interviewer because I was sticking out like a sore thumb and possibly making everyone else nervous. The interviewer appeared and the interview surprisingly was upbeat, positive and seemed genuine. I could read right through her. Prior on the phone I had asked if the office was accessible by skytrain only and she lied. She was a bad liar and I could hear the lie through the phone. I have a car anyway and knew beforehand it wasn't accessible by skytrain. Transit, perhaps, but not skytrain. I smiled my way through the interview and was still curious to see what would come of it. I had an open mind. I certainly had the experience. I enjoyed the interaction but her blatant lie over the phone before we had even met had already coloured my perception of her. She said she liked me a lot and wanted to push me to a second interview. I had another commitment so arranged for the next day. It was a mistake. I agreed anyway and made the 30 minute drive out to see them, over a bridge or two. When I got there the terrible music was blaring again like it was 1999 and the apocalypse was near. It was louder! The receptionist had turned it up into mind-numbing decibels and AGAIN, asked us to fill out a very long multiple-paged (about 4-5) questionaire. Was I at school? Was I in a nightclub What was this A cult? I was slowly beginning to think of it as a completely different animal and it began to feel a bit like a joke. I filled out the questionaire. Minutes ticked by...10, 15, 20 minutes. I had another appointment and had given this interview 2.5 hours' leeway. I began to realize that this ''interview'' wasn't going to start anytime soon. I talked to the receptionist and she seemed apologetic. It was an outrageous waste of time. She asked if I was wanting to reschedule and I think I lost it. This was the most unprofessional interview process I have EVER been to in my entire career and I have worked everywhere from sales to the financial industry, to bookstores, law firms as a paralegal, and architectural firms in HR. Having an HR background, I cannot fathom working in an organization such as this. No self-respecting individual trained in any advanced graduate professional skills would associate with a company such as the one set up before me that day. It was appalling. Needless to say, I left because I had to be somewhere else on time. As it turns out they failed to mention that I would be sitting around for 30 minutes twiddling my thumbs before the interview began. Had I known this, I would have prepared for it and scheduled my time accordingly. What a joke.
