I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Tarpon Springs, FL) in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied for a Management Trainee position online, got a call from the corporate recruiter 1 month later. He had me come in for the 2nd career briefing which was about 2 hours. I met with the branch manager afterward and he talked to me more about Bankers Life and I was able to ask specific questions about the position. He told me another interview would be set up and I went back in 2 days later. Spoke with another manager and he explained to me that since I didn't have prior sales experience that I had to complete their 3 month training program before being eligible for the management trainee position, and that most likely I would be have to be an agent for a year or so to be promoted.
The "interview" was more of a screening process. No questions were asked by the managers, they just outlined what the job entailed and allowed me to ask the questions.
At first is pretty much a really quick screening process over the phone, then a phone interview, and then like two in person interviews basically, with two different higher ups.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Muncie, IN) in Mar 2026
Interview
It started with a briefing seminar in a group before an in person interview. The questions were brief and in line with other sales jobs. Motivation seems to be the highest desire from the employer.
Very easy group briefing and then a personal one on one interview. You get to see exactly what you'll be getting into and the awesome structure of the company. You also get to see how you can develop your career there.
