I got a call out of the blue early in the morning from a recruiter informing me of an open position for an AIL Benefits Coordinator, and like a dummy, I scheduled an interview for 9:30 am the next day. I should've declined right then and there. The recruiter very quickly went over the details of the position, and barely gave me any time to write the address and phone number down, but she emailed me the address about an hour later. Said email was extremely short and had no information on what was discussed during the call or the company itself, which should've been a huge red flag for me, but wasn't. Another thing that should've been a red flag was the call itself. I couldn't for the life of me, I couldn't ever recall when I applied for them, and I REALLY needed to wake up... I finally clue in and become suspicious when I do a bit of research on the company. I kicked myself when I found their website. No information on the any of the positions, other than the opportunity to be an independent contractor? Yeah, been there, done that. NEVER. AGAIN. Just to make sure my newfound suspicions were correct, I look them up on good ol' Glassdoor! I would like to thank anyone and everyone who has had a negative experience with them and wrote an interview review for them, for I now know that it'd be a huge waste of time and money to even show up. I'll just sleep in instead!

I was contacted by AIL via email for a few weeks and was eventually called directly. Over the phone they made it seem as though they sourced my resume looking for a Benefits Coordinator. I was pretty excited and set up an interview for 2 days later. I later went online to search for the roles and responsibilities or possibly a job posting for Benefits Coordinator for AIL since I had never actually applied for the position. I must admit, since they are an insurance company, I was already pretty skeptical to begin with and was not surprised to come across many posts online about individuals being called in to interview for a Benefits Coordinator position believing they were being recruited for an HR position only to find out that they were being recruited for a sales position. With this in mind I called the branch back and asked to speak with someone who could give me a job description of the position of a Benefits Coordinator at AIL to make sure I was interviewing for a position that I was actually interested in rather than wasting the time and energy to interview for a position that I did not have an interest in. The HR representative refused to give me an overview of the job, ducking and dodging my questions the entire time encouraging me to ask these questions at the interview. When I asked if there was an online job posting for the position that I could look over, I was directed to a website that essentially showed me that the only positions available at this office were sales related positions but could not find anything on a Benefits Coordinator position. I then asked, again, if someone could just give me a quick overview just so I would know whether or not I was spending my time trying to attain a job that fit my career goals and at this point the representative promptly declared "it does not seem as though you are the type of person that would fit in our environment, I wish you the best of luck on your career search" and hung up on me. The fact that I never applied for this position, had genuine questions about a position I was to be interviewed for, was ducked and dodged on every question I asked, and was treated that way by the recruiter lets me know that this call is a scam. They are not hiring a benefits coordinator in the HR sense but are calling their sales people Benefits Coordinators in order to attempt to lure in people and tempt them with the potential of "unlimited income". I would say be very skeptical if you receive this phone call and make sure the position you think you are interviewing for is actually the position you are to be interviewing for.
