      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Greenwood, IN) in May 2025

      The interview process was amazing. Lori walked me through everything and left no room for unanswered questions. She was honest and very knowledgeable. The environment and office is very welcoming and a place to grow your career.

      Financial Advisor Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bankers Life

      Interview

      Led me in circles, dodged questions about fees, NDA, and contract structure. NDA lead to a discussion about how the people who leave don’t do well on their own selling products as she tried to manipulate me for bringing up the concern. Gave me a gimmick growth roadmap packet for license acquisition, bonuses, and vacation bonuses. Clueless when I attempted to discuss annuity products. Manager either refused or did not know anything about the structure of the products they sold. I was genuinely astonished as I asked about my fit in the role, and I got a “you’re smart”, but your intentions are unclear, after I explained the contract, NDA , and growth was very unclear. Told me to go, “Talk to someone I respected,” to make the decision to shove me out the door. Gave me the impression that this was as close to scam and a legal business can get.

      Question 1

      Did not ask me much, it was a sales pitch on bonus vacations, direct compensation, and bonuses.

      Financial Advisor Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Columbia, SC

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Columbia, SC)

      Interview

      I was originally messaged through Indeed on the job posting and set up an in person interview for the following week. The interview ended up being a "group interview." It really was just a guy spending an hour trying to sell a 1099, 100% commission job. It felt like a bait-and-switch since I applied for Financial Advisor and, that was the job listing I received the initial message from, only for the guy to verbatim say none of us would be Financial Advisors for a year or more. He also basically stated that a trained monkey could do the job.
