Tax Consultant II

Any current Andersen employees have an update on how the trial period of the hybrid model went and what they have officially established now? Worked there until July and would love to come back eventually if they were more flexible than required number of days in the office.

Customer Service Representative Interview
Anonymous Employee in Columbus, OH
Declined Offer
Negative Experience
Easy Interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at ECS Financial Services (Columbus, OH) in Aug 2020
Interview
These are group lectures, where you are informed about the company, and asked little to no questions about your interest or qualifications. It’s presented as high-paying customer service, but it’s actually insurance sales. You are asked to pay for your own background checks, licenses, etc., and the paid training is as low as $300/week while you practice pitching on your friends and family. It’s scammy at worst, hard work for no pay at best.

None? They did not ask the interviewees any notable questions.
