Interviewed Jun 2011 in Covington, LA (took a day)
They first contacted me by email. When I responded, I was contacted by the secretary by phone to schedule a time. I met with the Regional Director, face to face in his office. He told me about the company, showed me a presentation, and asked about my experience.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 days)
First, let me start off by saying that each region is running very differently. I applied online and was called back promptly within a week. I was invited to an information session the same week, which is not a private interview. Because it's different than a lot of jobs they provide an info session first to see if it's something you are interested in. If your district invites you to a session just go if you're interested don't bother the receptionist with a bunch of questions. I was then invited to a 1:1 interview, as were a lot of other candidates. Mine was scheduled for the following day. My interview was not a behavioral style. It was more about figuring out if I could catch on quickly and if I had good conversation skills. I didn't have sales experience so it was more about the interviewer figuring out if he thought I could handle sales. There is a lot of training, and it takes a while to make money. It isn't for everyone, but it is a good opportunity for the right person.

Negotiation Details
There wasn't anything to negotiate. It was a commission only position, and corporate office sets the rates. I found it to be reasonable, but if you don't it's a walk away situation.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 days)
First day is a presentation, telling you about the company and what it does. About 20 or so people were there when I went, and the guy makes a pitch. If you're still interested in the position by the end, you sign up for a 1:1 interview.
My 1:1 interview consisted of three questions.
1. What do you like best about the company?
2. How interested are you in this job?
3. Do you see yourself in a sales position?
Needless to say, not the hardest interview ever.
Be forwarned that in Massachusetts, you need a license to sell insurance and they will bill you to take an online course and the test, and then later to apply for the license.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
The group interview format was surprising - basically a round-table talk with no opportunity to ask questions. Later, they may call you if you want to meet one-on-one with the hiring manager. I declined because I believe this process is a waste of time for both the interviewer and interviewees. There were about 20 people every hour or so on certain days. Basically it indicates that they don't screen resumes and will hire anyone.

Reason for Declining
See above. However, there was a nice guy who had taken an offer and had been happy with his first months of work. My advice - just be prepared for the first round group and don't make too much effort until you can actually speak one-to-one with someone.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I got the interview through a university career fair. The interview was really informal, overall, and they were really helpful in answering questions that I had. Ultimately, I did not get the job, so I might not be in the best position to offer advice. However, I would just recommend to be as prepared as possible (research company, practice answers to generic questions, etc).

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 days)
I went to two interviews, and at the second, the manager offered me the job. Just be outgoing, and sell them on yourself. They want to see that you're self-motivated and can do work without constant supervision. Don't be too aggressive in selling yourself, but gain their interest.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The recruiter found my posting on CareerBuilder.com and scheduled an phone interview. The next interview discussed my career goals, why I think I would be a good fit with the company, and what 'drives' me. The third and final interview consisted of how the company pays commissions, and sketching out the general career progression and addresses concerns. The office felt very supportive, but would recommend having a spouse that earns consistent income why your career launches.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Kennewick, WA (took a day)
Very simple office setting where I sat down and filled out an application about 15 minutes before actual interview time with just the front office clerk. I finished and handed that application to the clerk, about 2 minutes later the interviewer exited the office and got my application and reviewed it shortly before she greeted me and we walked back to the office. It was a very simple 1:1 interview asking questions such as: what I knew about Aflac other than the duck, how much of a salary I would need to be satisfied, and made sure I understood that the position was completely commission based-yet did not want to go into much more details about working for commission until the second interview. The interview ended and was told I would receive a call back Monday to schedule the second interview but never received the call.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Fullerton, CA (took a day)
Because I was already licensed and had experience selling life insurance, the interview process was very easy. It was mostly them selling themselves to me. It was a one on one interview with the regional manager and he went over the company background, products, payment structure, awards, etc.
