I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at New York Life (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I went on two interviews with NY Life. I believe they found my resume on Career builder, as they were 1 of about 15 insurance companies to contact me. I liked the people that I met with, thought they were all very nice and personable.
They make it very clear that there is potential to make a lot of money if you work with them.
I definitely felt I was being "sold", rather than being interviewed. I did my homework on the company, but I didn't feel that they did their homework on me.
I was told in my first interview that I had been flagged for a management position. I found out later that the management opportunity wouldn't come for several years.
The position is 100% commission. They will try and skirt any questions about compensation until the 3rd interview.
If this sort of position is your bag. Then go for it. Not for me though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was not really asked any traditional interview questions.
An AI bot was asking me questions, very unpersonalized. It would have been nice to at least speak to someone and have the opportunity to showcase my abilities. Do not Recommend!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Huntsville, AL) in May 2024
Interview
There was an online assessment and a series of in office interviews. However there were lots of important information that was glossed over or not revealed, There are a lot of cost you most cover in the first year even though you are only commission, example; you have to pay to use an office if their building space. I did original except an offer, I later left due to the miss information presented during the interview process.
