American Income Life Training Manager interview questions

I received a call out of the blue from this company when I didn't even apply. That should have been a red flag, but they lured me in with promises of a $50k starting salary and future growth into management. After a quick phone screen they asked for an interview in person. Conveniently, no one ever mentioned that this was a sales job (something I definitely did not want) with 100% commission. Commission isn't necessarily a bad thing, but lying to my face by saying I would have a salary is plain dishonest and unethical in my book. The in-person interview was a bit strange, I felt like I was being sold a time share. There was a quick 5 minute interview individually, then they brought us into a conference room as a group of six people for a "group interview". The group interview was basically a 2 hour slideshow showing how awesome this company was, how much money we would make, and a bunch of other empty promises. There were a ton of red flags during this portion. Training takes a month, and not only is it unpaid, but you have to pay $200 out of pocket to take a licensing exam. The guy doing the presentation also started to name drop brands like Rolex and Bentley to prove his point about how rich we could be. Another red flag was that this operation is clearly a classic pyramid scheme, in the sense that once you get people working under you, you make a decent percentage of money off of them. I could see how this would encourage high rates of turnover and new hires to maximize the money that the managers make. I was offered a second interview and declined. I felt cheated and lied to by this company and would advise everyone to stay far away.

Had a short phone interview and then was invited to the office for an in person interview. I walked in with three other people at the same time and we all had an interview with the same person. I was called back and asked a few questions and only lasted a few minutes. I was told that I would move onto a "competitive group interview." They tried to make it seem like the whole process was very competitive, but it was obvious that it wasn't when everyone that I walked in with was also in the group interview. The group interview mostly consisted of watching videos and randomly being called on to say what you thought about it. Everyone that worked there was really nice but no one had worked there for long and the whole thing seemed really fishy. Couldn't run away fast enough.
