This is a company I would warn people to stay away from and I had to pull out of the interviewing process because it (the company and the interviewer) were so off-putting.
- My first interview was via Zoom and my interviewer was almost 20 minutes late to the meeting. Having been a hiring manager most of my career, I found this to be extremely unprofessional and just plain rude.
- The interviewer never really asked any questions. The whole interview seemed to be just a selling on the company and why working there is so great.
- He NEVER. STOPPED. TALKING! This guy talked a mile a minute and went off on completely irrelevant tangents. I basically knew his whole life story by the end of the second interview. Frankly, it seemed like he was more than hopped up on caffeine. At least I hope so, because it would be more unsettling if he was that manic *without* substances.
- I accepted a second interview because I was told this would be the one where we’d cover more of the nitty gritty details and I was hoping to learn more about the actual role and if it would be a good fit. NOPE.
- The interviewer was 25 minutes late for the 2nd round.
- The first 5 minutes of the interview were him trying to find his coffee and leaving me to stare at a wall. So technically, he was 30 minutes late to the interview if you include the wasted time.
- I asked about what the day-to-day would look like. Rather than giving me an overview, he pulled his screen to show me what we’d be doing. Which would be great if he wasn’t showing me his actual clients’ information! I could see their names, phone numbers, some addresses. I’m not sure how Globe Life does things but if I was a client and knew this, I would be horrified.
- The rest of the hour was more of him telling me about his life and trying to sell the company. I actually kept track on a notepad during the interview. I spoke three measly sentences during the process. That’s how much this guy talked. By the end of the 2nd interview, my face and neck hurt from all the smiling and nodding.
- I figured I could get past all of that since there was WFH potential and the salary was great.
Here’s my biggest issue with the whole process: They straight up LIED about the salary in the job posting. The salary was posted at $50,000-$60,000 + Comission. Turns out, no, it’s entirely commission. Very pyramid scheme-y. And it was like pulling teeth to actually get that information. He kept trying to weasel out of the question. He finally said, “You tell us what you want to make, and we’ll show you how to get there.” Which is basically every MLM’s mantra.
The whole thing was an offensive waste of time.
