NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED =====================
American Income Life Insurance Ripoff Not real Interview Don't waste your time Framingham Massachusetts
For several months I've been getting emails and calls from American Income Life stating that they saw my resume on Monster.com and thought I would be a good candidate for a management position within their company.
The interview was basically a "cattle-call" meaning there were at least 50 people in the lobby waiting to interview.
I had a very brief interview with a Director named Jay and then was asked if I could sit in on a presentation about AIL. I listened to a Mr. Willy Hayden extoll the virtues of working for AIL and how insurance is a "recession-proof" business. I would state that most of us in that presentation were unemployed and looking for a "real job" with "real pay."
I then was asked back for a second interview with a Ms. Melanie Cohen. She seemed less sleazy than this Jay character. I actually liked her. But the fact was, she was not offering me a job either.
The fact is that AIL uses people by requiring them to put in hours, dictating the times people will work, and then not paying them any benefits or salary. It is an MLM, and probably one of the most driven ones I've had contact with.
I'm sure their system works, especially if you have no concerns outside of trying to make money,but the thing that bothered me was that instead of offering me a position, they were offering me an opportunity to be an independent contractor - and an opportunity to spend my money on gas to support thier business.
Everyone starts at the same level. There are no MANAGEMENT POSITIONS.IN fact, there are no positions.
The thing I can't figure out is why the IRS has not caught up with them because when you dictate hours and require someone to be at a location, then they are employees, not ICs.
The best advice I can give based on my experience, is to wait for a REAL JOB to come around. WHen something sounds to good to be true, it usually is.
