Liberty National Life Insurance Co  Unethical/Illegal Interview tactics Valdosta, Georgia

I have had several emails and calls from LNL recently all offering me a wonderful opportunity in Insurance sales.  Initially I either ignored them or turned them down(when they called) as I have no sales experience and have no desire to become an insurance salesman but I decided to take advantage of the situation and get some needed interview technique experience.

Firstly that was a big mistake as it wasn't an interview but a sales pitch.  They present you with this overly glossy presentation with supposedly real agents telling their story and how easy it is to get a 6 figure income.  Toward the end of the presentation the "interviewer" received a phone call from his sister who wanted money to pay a bill or something.  What I found particularly disturbing was that he then proceeded to tell both myself and the other person at the interview how much of a loser his sister and her son were.  How her son was a drug addict etc. Not exactly professional.  He also asked me whether I go to church, which I am fairly sure is illegal, and seemed particularly disturbed when I told him no.  Presumably because it would limit the number of people I could harass into selling insurance too.

I left the interview feeling unsatisfied with the way he answered, or didn't answer, our questions.  I then spent a little time investigating the company and stumbled upon this site which went some way to confirming my suspicions about the company.

Several days later I received a phone message from him saying I had been approved for employment.  I replied by email saying that after investigation of the company and evaluation of my impressions gained during the interview I didn't want to pursue a career with LNL and to please stop sending me emails.

This is his response....

"Thank you 4 getting back with me as far me sending emails@ the company. I have not sent u any it automatically comes Torchmark you will have 2 opt out whereever u have ur resume posted"

Not exactly the well written response you might expect from a company.
