I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Edison, NJ) in May 2015
Interview
Shady. A waste of time and decietful. I was presented with a "base salary" to start plus your insurance commissions. You would start with Health & Life and can add your Financial Licenses later. I made it very clear I was not in a position to join a commission only position. I was assured of the base salary from the start.... I find out at the end of the "hiring interview" after: meet & greet, 1st interview, background check, jumping through hoops, providing 4 business references, 10 personal references, 2nd interview, completed a 15 person questionnairre, psych test, etc..... Such a lie.
I was told that the "base salary" was not paid as a salary as presented from the start! ?!!! It was a performance base draw that can only be accessed with your commission. On top of that, you needed to be approved by NYL after completing a now 200 Person Circle of Qualified Investors and meet other criteria.
The interviewer even told me "don't quit your job just yet, while you go out and complete your 200-250 Investor Circle....." Are you kidding me?
Such a decietful waste of my time. Horrible to think about.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life
Interview
Don't waste time with this company. This gave me a wrong interview time, I showed up but no one is there, I can't reached out to anyone. IT WASTE MY WHOLE DAY! After almost 5 hrs of the scheduled meeting time, someone finally replied me with only one sentence, they never scheduled me for that time, I provided them with evidences about the meeting time, they just made up a meeting time no one ever told me. Very unprofessional.
phone interview for screening, they ask about your work authorization situation and offer a description of the job. Also explained the compensation structure. not very hard and can be very short.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
do you hold work authorization without limitation?
The interview process is three steps and the first is typically getting to know you, then it's about career development and lastly compensation. The process is generally laid back and all about learning about the company.
