I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (North Birmingham, AL) in July 2018
Interview
A complete joke and waste of 2 months being ran around and completely misled, all the while losing another job in pursuit of what was initially presented as a great opportunity. Numbers were not accurately disclosed on a book of business I was presented to buy into, and had a proceeded, I would have ended up a statistic along with the other horror stories online about Farmers. The recruiters are total idiots and scam artists.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Only were concerned with how deep my pockets were.
Was basic and tedious asking me questions about my prior work history so make sure that I understood the job role. Overall it was not difficult to formulate an answer to the questions.
The interview was professional and conversational. The agent clearly explained the role, expectations, and growth opportunities. I was asked about my communication skills, work ethic, and goals. Overall, it felt welcoming, informative, and focused on long-term potential rather than pressure
Detailed with multiple calls. Explained in detail the onboarding and training processes including the financial obligations with starting an agency. There was a personality test to help determine fit with the company.
