Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
I was contacted by American Income Life (AIL) by email about a sales/sales management position. The first meeting was with about 10 other candidates who were all there for the same position. We all had a quick 1:1 interview with a senior salesman. Asked about why you want to work here, why would this job fit you, and what you are looking for, etc. This took a minute or two. Then we are sent to a conference room for a presentation about the company. History, culture, salary/commissions, growth potential, the job position and what the responsibilities are, expectations, etc. Then there was the final 1:1 interview with the state director of AIL (took a little over 30 minutes). Essentially a Q&A session. He explains any unanswered questions you have and tries to determine if this is what you really want to do. He doesn't really ask many questions. Just a quick background and the why you want this job, why are you a good fit here...the same old questions. I got a call a few days later with an offer. Interesting point for ya, they say they provide you with leads and that you never need to make cold calls or start your sales career with family/friends as clients. It sounds a bit too good to be true.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 3 days)
Was invited to an interview at their local firms. Came early and sat down on a chair. Was interviewed by one of their agent managers. Was not even asked any technical questions, just about myself and what are my work ethics. Told me that the job had a salary and a commissioned based bonus. Was told that I should receive a phone call later today regarding a second interview in this three interview process. Was called that day at around 7pm and was invited for another interview. Second day, came there and was again "interviewed" by another agent manager that told be that this was a 100 percent commission based. I felt then that this was one of those pyramid scams. Interviewer started throwing out how much money I can make and started doing all this math on paper. Said that they would "hire" and instructed me to come tomorrow again and pay a 80 dollar training fee. Igot out as soon as I could. I felt that everyone that got an interview was offered a job. Pyramid Scam 100%. I don't appreciate them wasting my time.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Pyramid scam. Workers and managers are inconsistent in job descriptions and benefits. Complete waste of time and gas.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 2 days)
I responded to an ad on Craigslist for a customer service representative by sending a copy of my resume. I was called with questions, then asked to come in for an interview. I actually had an interview, a presentation (to sell the company), then another interview. I was suspicious the entire time, since I didn't know the company name before the interview (so I could do research). Glassdoor has some VERY negative employee reviews.

Interviewed May 2011 in Fort Collins, CO (took 1 week)
Pretty easy to get an interview as long as you had a mode of transportation. They ask for work moral and work ethic as one of their biggest needs. You go through three interviews which they weive people out at each one. If youre in the last group standing you make it to the third interview and half of the people normally get calls back.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took a day)
I didn't apply for the position in this company they just pulled it out of job search engines. They called me on a Sunday afternoon to schedule an interview for next Tuesday, they didn't explain what was all the job about until I got to the interview.
Tomphe interview lasted about 15 - 20 minutes, explaining about the company, the training process and the fee you had to pay to take the exam. They don't even pay a base salary just commissions, I just listened to the person, thanked them for considering me for the position and left.
After this interview they insisted on a 2nd interview to "get to know" the company.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 days)
I came in for the interview and found out once there that it was a group interview with about 6-7 canidates. In round one they described the company and position a bit and told us they would bring back top 2-4 canidates for round two, but they didnt really ask any question to of us to see who would be in the top. round two consisted of the same guy going into more detail about the product and how easy it was to sell and how there was no cold calling which is only partially true. they had me come back the next day to have a one on one. there the guy told me i had the job and would have to pay 200 buck for a book and a class and 80 bucks for tests to get my license.
