      Agent Interview

      Dec 13, 2010

      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bankers Life in Jun 2009

      Interview

      Was originally contacted by phone after sending a resume to do a 1st step interview. This ended up being a room full of people listening to a presentation. Then we had to fill out a form answering questions. We were told that these forms would be looked at carefully and then only the chosen few would be selected for a 2nd interview, which I was. They called me back to set it up, and when I went in, I had to wait for just about an HOUR from the scheduled appointment for the guy to see me. I almost left. They whole time they acted like it was such a priviledge to even get to talk to them, and to work there (for a commission only job), yet they made me wait an hour, like I had nothing better to do. After the interview consisting of the typical questions (what is your greatest accomplishment, what is your greatest regret/failure, blah, blah), I was called the next day and offered an agent position which I declined due mostly to the ovedrall impression I got during the hiring process. I imagined it would be oppressive to work there. Also, since they made me wait so long at my intereview, I was able to hear agents calling the "leads" and getting completely rejected akthough they kept touting that they have leads of peopke that want to talk to you! I learned later that the top producers get them, and the other agents get the cast off leads that have already been worked (unseuccessfully). I also learned later of someone else that got hired and the person was so unqualified for the job, even they couldn't believe they were offered the job, which just proved to me that they'll hire almost anyone for commission only and act like it;'s the ultimate honor for the company to bring you on!

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bankers Life in Jul 2025

      Interview

      I got an email that they wanted a phone interview the next day. The phone call sounded like she was reading off of a piece of paper. I did not feel like I was being listened to. When I asked about compensation it was commission based and there was NO BASE PAY. When I told her that I had a family to provide for and could not rely on solely commission, she said "ok" and then hung up.
