I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at American Income Life (Redmond, WA) in Jul 2010
Interview
I was called and interviewed on the phone, and asked about 3 questions. Then when I went in for my 1 on 1, I was asked the same exact questions and he acted like he had never heard these answers before. After about 10 minutes in the interview he invited me to come back in an hour for a "group interview" with the regional director. When I came back, there was about 15-20 people in a room waiting for a presentation to begin. This lasted about 2 hours and showed videos on the most successful people in the company.. and how much $ they make. It was ridiculous. Then the last 15 minutes of the presentation was the compensation portion, which finally made clear that this is 100% commission based. After the presentation was over, I went into a different office with the same guy, who then told me how much it would cost to start working there. It was over $700, and I was totally side-swiped.
I was called about 2 hours after I left the series of interviews, and was invited back for the 3rd interview. After reading more reviews about this company and realizing what I had gotten myself into, I definitely did NOT go back to the last interview. Any company who is legitimate will PAY for you to get trained and certified, this is a bunch of bologna!!

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at American Income Life
Interview
I applied for a generic entry level management job on Indeed. Did not list the company...etc. I received a phone call from a man that spoke very, very fast. Didn't tell me again what the company was or what the job entailed ( I had to google the man's name he gave me to find out it was AIL). Told me he wasn't sure if I was a right fit yet and maybe 1 minute later he said he really liked me and asked me to come in for an interview.
In person interview: opened the door to the office at 430pm and they had techno music blaring and multiple other candidates there. In person interview was exact same conversation as on the phone, very short, wasn't sure if they liked me then said they really did and asked me to move onto next part.
At this point I've had 2 conversations with 2 different people and yet no one shared anything with me about the position, what it all entails...etc. So, I was interviewing for a job I had no knew nothing about and it was obvious all they wanted was as many applicants and interviews as possible. I denied to go further in the process.
