The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York Life (Costa Mesa, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
I only went to the first interview and realized it was not for me, the best way to describe it is it like opening your own personal sales franchise.... Using the franchise name of new york life. They will do the best they can to set you up with potential clients even have a mentor assigned to you for i believe 3 years or so but it is ultimately up to you to make the sale and hold on to them as your personal client while you send what is the equivalent of a royalty back to new york life for using there name and products.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at New York Life (Hyannis, MA) in Apr 2012
Interview
They tell you that you need to go through 4 interviews and on the last interview, if they want to hire you, they will offer you the job. The first interview consisted of the recruiter trying to sell me the company, which I thought was strange. It almost seemed like I was the one giving her an interview about New York Life. That was red flag #1. The fact that they were so desperate to get employees was very strange to me; in an economy that has many people struggling for jobs, why was this person almost begging me to become interested in this one?
