Well, i was told that I was being interviewed for a managerial position, wherein I would be overseeing 10 - 20 employees. However, when I arrived there were about 25 or 30 other people all "interviewing" for the same position. Then i was called back to an office, asked 2 or so simple questions about what matters to me in a job, and then lead back to a room where all of the other people interviewing for the same position were sitting in chairs, facing a screen, awaiting a presentation. I was given a questionnaire about management (what qualities make a good manager, what qualities do i have that would help me be a good manager, etc, Then we began a 40 minute presentation about the company, which does seem to be a legitimately good company by way of the services it provides (something almost no insurance company can say, as they are largely defined by greed and immorality). Unfortunately, during this presentation, we learned that we weren't really being interviewed for a managerial position (as i had guessed given the size and make-up crowd that was there). It was framed as though we 'have to start at the bottom, as insurance agents, to learn what we need to know in order to be managers,' and that whoever was hired would be made managers after several months of learning the ropes as entry level agents. This cant really be true, because of the 25 - 30 people, allegedly 4 to 7 would be hired, and all of that 4 - 7 cant all be managers, so it appears as though they mislead me to get me in the door. The presentation was initially about company history, and then about how much money you can make working for them if you stick with the company. Additionally, you have to pay to get a license to be an insurance agent, which they allege is something they can not pay for or reimburse you for by Texas law (which is, I'd say, highly probable, as Texas is a state managed by idiots on behalf of business interests). AIL seems like a legitimately good company that does really good things for Unions and their members, but these hiring techniques don't paint a pretty picture for what life will be like working for them.

Interview was good. I answered almost all the questions. The interviewer was very smart. He knew what exactly he was doing . He asked me about my background like what I have been doing past 10 years. I answered all of the questions.
