If you interview once, they will keep messaging you even if you aren't interested. It is a sales job, they will try to use other terminology as they know the connotation associated with it. All in all though, doesn't seem like a bad gig if you are looking at getting into sales

New York Life

I was hired on as a Senior LTD Case Manager (CSIII level) New York Life last year at 58k. My title is Senior but I don't oversee anyone else. I feel that my wage poorly reflects all of the stressful work we do. Is anyone else comfortable saying how long they've worked in a similar title and what your starting and current wage is? My yearly bonus was really low compared to all 7 other people who chatted with me about their bonus and my raise was 2%

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life (Glendale, CA)

Interview

It's difficult to actually rate because each experience will vary widely depending on which Partner (Hiring Manager) you interview with, which office they are associated with, and which state you live in. Most candidates don't realize that they get who they interview with if an offer is given and accepted - there is no matching process. The candidates should actually take a look at the different Partners and reach out to those who they feel could be a good match AS A MANAGER. I feel quality people could have been successful had they been given the opportunity to work with someone who was a good fit leadership-wise.

Highly technical while pay was quite low. Was more interested in technical skills rather than fit at company. The interviewer also did not value time with a late arrival. I realized during the interview I wouldn’t enjoy working for them. Wouldn’t recommend
