AIL was a joke to work at. You worked from 10 am- 9pm without pay unless you made a sale. When you get hired, you have to get your insurance license and pay for it yourself. After you pass, you go through 2 full weeks of training without pay. Then you get trained in the field where any sale you make goes to the managers. You won't see a dime of those sales.
I felt like everything was based on lies. We would go to community events selling the child safety kits. We would lure people into letting us into their homes to gives them these kits just to sell them insurance. They never know we were going to be doing a sales presentation to them, so they were blindsided. They'd let us in thinking they were getting a free kit just for us to try and sell life insurance to them. I ended up just telling people at the events what was going to happen so they wouldn't be blindsided. And I wouldn't be wasting my time, gas, and money driving to them. I started working at AIL after my dad died and he didn't have insurance. I felt it was important. I didn't think it was going to be the way it was.
You're completely micromanaged. It made my depression so bad that I ended up just not going in anymore. My conscience couldn't handle it anymore.
HR keeps replying that this job requires someone self disciplined. But I think it just requires someone who doesn't care about people.
