The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bankers Life in Nov 2011
Interview
I would say the experience was probably a bit more positive than I expected. As insurance sales is a numbers game, so is the hiring for insurance sales. I was called by a recuiter in for an interview, arrived and was handed papers to complete including personality test, etc. I was one of 20+ in the room. My background and experience enabled me to be selected as one of 5-6 "qualified" to move on to the next round. After interviewing with 2-3 various managers, there were enough inconsistencies in describing the opportunity that red flags started appearing.

Interview
I applied online through one of the popular job search websites. I received a phone call and an email from a recruiter, James Randall. After the phone screen I was invited to a interview with a manager Nita. Upon arriving to Bankers Life, I was greeted by the receptionist whom directed me to a room full of other candidates (20+) that will be directed by a different manager, Kevin Bright. I was very upset that I was led to believe that I was having a 1 to 1 interview instead of the "group introduction".
I figure that I will sit through the hour long sales pitch since I have drove 20 miles. What a waste of time. STAY AWAY from these people. They want you to pay for your licensing and they want you to purchase their "prep kit" for $100. The total out of pocket is well over $300 they want you to spend for a 100% commission job. On top of everything, you will be a 1099 employee without any benefits. Steer clear of this scam. They promise you the world with earnings over $100k first year based off a MLM pyramid scheme.

Interview
Got a call to do an in person interview, which was watching a powerpoint in a group setting and learning more about the company and what the position would entail. Afterwards, the person who conducted the informational powerpoint asked if we had any questions and was very kind about answering all of them.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bankers Life in Jan 2017
Interview
Group interview/presentation. Was never told the interview would be held in a group setting. The interview was also not an interview but a presentation about the company. They make you pay for you licensing up front and say they will reimburse you after you have been working there for a period of time. After the presentation was over they ask everyone to fill out questionnaires and asked everyone if they would like a second interview.
