      Benefits Specialist Interview

      Jul 15, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Tampa, FL
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at American Income Life (Tampa, FL) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      I will start with a bit of my background. I have a bachelor's degree in business management from a major university, I have spent 10 years in customer service and sales, with 6 years in managing sales people. I have sold and managed both quick pitch (using a script which proves successful) as well as genuine sales (discovering problems and offering solutions, ie Zig Ziglar). I was called and told I was interviewing for a full time position, I had to pry out of them that it was a 1099 independent contractor position. The entire "interview" process was a sales pitch, in which once I was "offered a job" they wanted me to pay for licensing, background check, etc before I left. They wanted to "fast track" me to management, which I later discovered after more prying it was the same position as benefits specialist, with the added task of recruiting and bringing on more people. The first interview was 5 minutes of talking by a low level manager, a personality test, and a 30 min sales pitch on the company. The 2nd interview was 20 minutes of the same low level manager saying how much money can be made...the biggest red flag was how they stressed in both interviews that they knew everyone there was the right type of person based off resumes. RESUMES TELL VERY LITTLE OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES. I'm sure some people can make money in this business, but this is not a smart place to work. The entire location looked like an old dentist/doctors office that could be setup or torn down in a day. They told me for the training course, use 2 devices, don't try to learn the information just get through it all as fast as possible, you don't need to know the stuff (ANOTHER HUGE RED FLAG FOR POTENTIAL CANDIDATES AND CUSTOMERS). It was clear the low level management makes money off bringing on new employees as the manager was really trying to sell me on buying the licensing the entire time. When I asked tougher questions he stumbled pretty badly, and danced around the question asked. They said they have leads but we make so much more money on getting referrals and get 10 per lead on avg. This is a total joke. The odds of a person knowing 10 people that will be leads is slim to none, even 4 referrals is amazing. Before interviewing ask yourself these questions: 1) Do I want to pay to be a 1099 employee, effectively allowing them to fire you with no warning, reason, or recourse? 2) Do I want to use shady tactics to make sales, recruiting new candidates, and don't care how many people I anger doing so? 3) Do I want to work six 8+ hour days a week with a lot of traveling and no overtime? Bottom line: if you're okay with using cheap tactics to get quick sales, not having any job security, and are willing to pay to begin working...this might be an ok place to work if you are desperate. I truly feel bad for people that don't research a company to discover what goes on before interviewing, as many of them will get sucked into this.  If you are unsure what a sales pitch looks like, I reccomend going to a time share seminar before this interview, the processes used are quite similar. If a business isn't asking you questions to discover how you will fit in the company, then their motivation is something other than finding the right people for the job. Kudos to AIL (perfect acronym for the business btw as their tactics made me sick) for developing a legal pyramid scheme disguised as a business.

      Easy and quick interview process. Understable and efficient. Though did not clarify it was just commission, made it seem like you make 80,000 salary non commission but remember this is 100% comission

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Income Life in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Misleading. First off, I did not know what company I was interviewing with until the interview started. Second, I think that they do this so that you cannot google them. Turns out it is a MLM...

      Question 1

      Nothing was asked. Recruiter just said that I was hired
