      Financial Advisor Interview

      Mar 2, 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bankers Life

      Interview

      Led me in circles, dodged questions about fees, NDA, and contract structure. NDA lead to a discussion about how the people who leave don’t do well on their own selling products as she tried to manipulate me for bringing up the concern. Gave me a gimmick growth roadmap packet for license acquisition, bonuses, and vacation bonuses. Clueless when I attempted to discuss annuity products. Manager either refused or did not know anything about the structure of the products they sold. I was genuinely astonished as I asked about my fit in the role, and I got a “you’re smart”, but your intentions are unclear, after I explained the contract, NDA , and growth was very unclear. Told me to go, “Talk to someone I respected,” to make the decision to shove me out the door. Gave me the impression that this was as close to scam and a legal business can get.

      Question 1

      Did not ask me much, it was a sales pitch on bonus vacations, direct compensation, and bonuses.

      Financial Advisor Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bankers Life (Columbia, SC)

      Interview

      I was originally messaged through Indeed on the job posting and set up an in person interview for the following week. The interview ended up being a "group interview." It really was just a guy spending an hour trying to sell a 1099, 100% commission job. It felt like a bait-and-switch since I applied for Financial Advisor and, that was the job listing I received the initial message from, only for the guy to verbatim say none of us would be Financial Advisors for a year or more. He also basically stated that a trained monkey could do the job.
