I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ATO Partners (Singapore) in Aug 2024
Interview
Unprofessional and a waste of my time. Waited for 15 to 20 minutes after the agreed interview timing (Manager is late) and left as I have another interview to attend. Have no basic courtesy or manners to inform the receptionist to tell the interviewee that manager is late and have to wait a while longer before the interview can start. News flash, you're not the only company hiring here and your pay is honestly not the best but average
For future candidates, take this as a reference that how they treat you in the interview is how they are going to treat you if you're hired or even worse. Perhaps they are looking for someone who is exploitable, easily bullied and someone with no other options. Apparently there're a lot negative reviews here as well.

Interview
It's a scam to work for free and become a financial advisor. They upload countless job roles on Careers Future everyday about opportunities completely unrelated to being a financial advisor. But when you attend the interview, employees are promised a dual role opportunity. But in reality, your base salary will not be paid out to you if you don't hit your target to sell insurance that month. They are able to match any high salary amount that you want simply because that becomes your target. There is no compensation for the work you do as a HR/ Marketing/ Management etc role. They also spend the entire interview rambling about their insurance policies and after rejecting them for months, they continue to reach out to sell the plans.

Interview
SO RIDICULOUS. JOB SCAM.
1. Interviewer 1 came in and asked me to describe myself. While I was talking, she was texting! Then she said her manager will be joining us cause she says I am a happy person. (I could already sense the interview going south with that very sentence lol)
2. Then her manager kept on rambling about the types of insurance ATO offers. I said that I have existing insurance plans with AIA, but she still aggressively SELLS me insurance from ATO. She wanted me to take out my phone to scan my Singpass (which I assume was to look at my coverage). I just said that my phone is hard to find since I am carrying a tote bag.
3. She tried to belittle my existing insurance plan and agent...? Saying why I didn't buy a specific rider and why am I giving my agent commission when I can buy insurance from ATO and earn my own commission. Firstly, I don't care about earning commission. My agent has earned them when she carefully shared with me about the insurance policies. Secondly, I AM NOT HERE TO HEAR YOU SELL/BUY INSURANCE !!!!
4. She asked me to attend 3 financial courses ($108/course) of which they will provide a cheat sheet. Not only is that morally wrong... also, why would I need to sit for the financial exams to be a HR Assistant......
5. On the way out, the manager just said "this is your desk. you come at 9am on monday morning and sit here" (today is a friday). When did I agree to work for you...??
