Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter shortly after applying for the position to schedule an in person interview. The interview was approximately three business days after the phone call. I was interviewed by two supervisors of the department. I was given a drug test on the spot. I was contacted via email approximately one week later requesting a background check. Approximately three business days after submitting to the background check I was offered the position.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Sentry wouldn't negotiate on the salary, which in my opinion was quite low. There was only one option available for health insurance and the premiums for a family plan were outrageous. I had to decline as I couldn't afford to live on the low wage + high insurance premiums.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 months)
The recruiter was very accomodating, patient and informative. The second iterview was somewhat rushed and disinterested from the outset. Final outcome was not communicated until I followed up. (i.e. no rejection letter)

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Saint Louis, MO (took 6 weeks)
Recruited by a 3rd party staffing firm. Proceeded to interview 1 on 1 with the Manager that ran the midwestern states. Meeting went well, proceeded to do a phone interview w/their HR person via phone. Proceeded to the next level...getting flown up to Stevens Point, WI for more interviews.
All went well with everybody except the final decision maker. This guy was dull, dry, no personality, and I could not believe he was in charge of hiring salespeople. Coming from selling payroll, copiers, insurance, mortgages all my adult life, I was told that I did not have the experience to sell something other than a "comodity" and his concern was that I would not be able to handle a longer sales process.
My thoughts are if somebody can sell mortgages when the market is falling apart, health insurance to people laid off losing their jobs, and copiers...copiers are like selling used cars. Please, I think I could have done great. After telling a friend of mine about the long drawn out, inconvenient interview process I was informed that the person I would be replacing was an old roommate of mine several years back. This was even more entertaining for this guy was a fat slob with little work ethic.
Funny but not too much longer I saw another posting for this position. Gotta love corporate America!

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Goldsboro, NC (took 1 week)
Was contact by recruiter two days after applying for the position. Immediately, a phone interview was conducted which was fairly simple (Why are you wanting to join the insurance field, what do you currently do, etc.). Was then scheduled for a 2:1 interview (two managers conduct the interview together) which lasted for one hour. Questions asked were all situational questions, such as "Describe a situation where a customer made you upset and how did you handle it?" and "Tell me what skills you have that you can apply to the position you are applying for?" The interview was fairly laid back as the managers were very informative and upfront on what the position requires. The building and rooms were very organized and the employees and management seemed very professional, in my opinion. However, the interview process was easier than I was expecting.

As I mentioned, the managers conducting the interview were very informative and upfront with the details and responsibilities of the position. I felt the position did not meet what I was in search for.
