Are you kidding me? This wasn't an interview. It was more like a cattle call. Or a bad joke. Or how you would recall your first memory of being recruited for a Ponzi scheme. If you are like me and have your resume posted on Monster, you probably have received unsolicited emails from insurance or financial advisory firms like AFLAC. Maybe out of hopes they would finally stop showering with me these form letter interview requests, I finally agreed to an interview at their supposed Wall Street office. I was told that my 11:00am interview would be with "Douglas Meier". When you get there to their lobby to check in (at something that resembles one of those Philippine call centers), I quickly realized that even my lowest possible expectations weren't low enough. At check in, you are handed a clipboard to fill out a form (I won't even call it an "application"). You then wait for awhile with a crowd of about 20 other "interviewees". I immediately realized that there would be no one-on-one interview with Douglas Meier. Instead, you get s group sales pitch as if AFLAC were also selling timeshares in addition to your 100% commission job structure. Nope, nobody at AFLAC actually found your resume and identified you as a promising Benefits Consultant who could represent them in front of HR reps of reputable firms in Corporate America. So, don't waste your time scheduling an interview, or preparing any remotely interesting questions to pretend to Douglas Meier and AFLAC that you really think you could make this your calling. To call this cattle call process is a joke. They don't care about your skill set, education, or previous work experience...only if you have ever been convicted of an insurance crime. Because THAT is what you will realize in this review process that sets you apart from the non-ideal candidates. Suffice it to say, I left this "interview" early so as not to waste any more of my time.

Scummy behavior, like others said it turned out to be a group interview even though it was never directly stated. When you're preparing for a one-on-one interview and then suddenly find yourself in a group that's absurd
