Interviewed May 2012 (took a day)
Was brought in by a friend with just the knowledge that it was a corporate overview. Found out at the site what the company was. There was a large group of people also brought in by friends who worked there. We were given a tour of the office, then taken out to meet all the top managers. Informally talked to each person and they introduce you to the next person after they finish. Talked to about 8 people total until it was time for the presentation. They pitch the business to you and tell you they expect to hire driven workers. After the presentation they interview each person. Seemed like most people that came got an offer.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Midfield, AL (took a day)
A friend who works for the company recommended me. I interviewed in person with the manager of that branch. He told me that he had little control over who was hired for his branch and that it would be at least about a month before anyone was hired. I received no communication from him again and found out from my friend that someone had been hired.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
This was probably the most informal interview that I ever had. Literally, I was recruited into the position. The interviewer and I sat down together and basically he was doing all the talking. It wasn't much of a mutual conversation. The message seem to be, join my team and we will make profit. Think of it as an upside down pyramid: whenever you as the financial sales representative make profit, your team leader will receive a percentage of that.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
The interview first consisted of going to a information session. After that, I met with a marketing director and was directly recruited into the firm. They are a growth company and are willing to recruit almost anyone, provided you have a decent background. It is a very lucrative career but it takes time to build a business.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 1 week)
it's not really an interview...everyone gets the job. low pay compared to other companies in the financial service industry that pay up to 100% commission whereas here you bust your butt to make 35%. Don't drink the juice. Stay away. They will push and push but save your 100$, there are better things to do with it

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Brea, CA (took a day)
Recruiter called from Monster.com resume posting. Very vague about position. It was a walk-in interview. Interviewer was turned rude when I declined the position politely.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Duluth, GA (took 2 days)
Don't bother with the "company". Interview consisted of coming to the headquarters on a Saturday (first question mark), and joining the ranks of other applicants. When I was interviewed over the phone, I was given the impression I would have a one-on-one interview with the manager, not joined by dozens of others who didn't know what they were getting into. I left pretty early after the reps couldn't answer any questions about the jobs offered, other than "Do you want to make money?" or "Wait until you see our presentation!". I have heard from multiple people that they herd you in like cattle while they put on a vague presentation about how to achieve financial success, and then try to sell you a starter kit to the business. They need your money much more than you need theirs!
