I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Portland, OR) in Oct 2014
Interview
As soon as I entered the office for the interview, I was put into a large "classroom" with several other people for a group interview which I wasn't told I would be doing. The hiring manager was 15 minutes late so we all just sat there awkwardly looking at the cartoon powerpoint that kept repeating. Eventually the manager shows up and introduces himself, then he makes each one of us stand up and tell the rest of the group a bit about ourselves. This made me really uncomfortable especially since I wasn't expecting any of it. All the people in the room were tense and awkward. The manager even told one applicant in the middle of the presentation, "I don't think you'd be right for this job", and asked her to leave in front of everybody. The whole event put a bad taste in my mouth and I left with the girl along with another two people.
Very informative group interview. The company seems to have a great open door policy. I'm interested in seeing the future holds with this company. The training bootcamp seem to be a bit over kill but I'm sure I could use all of the training that's offered.
They start with a group information session to learn about the company and a little bit about the position. Then they set up an actual interview where you can ask more questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bankers Life in Jul 2024
Interview
First thing to do when I get there is write down if I know anyone else who wants the job and their contact info. Then in the actual interview, there were barely any questions about me. I was the one asking the interviewer questions. Didn't really find out much about the company or average day of work. All they did was tell me how rich I can become if I work hard enough. Hmmmmmm..... seems like a MLM.
