I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Dec 2014
Interview
They sell you the job...BEWARE they make it seem easy it is a sales job with NO salary and they bank on you singing up friends and family then they stop helping you. The only time they show some sort of a realistic view of the job is when you go to the informational presentation by the head of the office, and he makes commissions off of you. There is no true care for the sales agents/advisors, and expect you to hit numbers without ANY help, that is after they get your family to buy LIFE INSURANCE.. remember, they will tell you that you are a financial advisor, but just remember, you are an insurance agent that is all you basically sell, especially in your first year. If you have a family,and have bill to pay, RUN. If you are a recent college graduate, give it a shot. If you have a pulse, they will offer you the job..

Management does a good job explaining the Job. It was a lengthy process. Knowing a lot of people is key. It is tough to start but pays off later at commisions build.

Interview
Extensive vetting. Requires you to become licensed for life insurance, after which point you'd have follow up interviews before ultimately moving forward. You need recommendations, and you'll have to conduct some introductory surveys with people who are supportive of you, and these surveys will actually benefit you down the road as you start your career.
The interview process was straightforward and comfortable. The questions were clear, allowing me to express my thoughts easily. Overall, it felt supportive and friendly, making it an enjoyable experience. Thank you!
