AIG Life Insurance of American General has long sold its opportunities. They say they pay $450 a week and provide training. Sounds like a good opportunity if you are looking for a career change. I sent my resume and then not long after I received an invitation for an interview. It seemed a little quick in my opinion, but I had a conversation.
After I got to the interview, I had to fill out several forms. I also had to take a short test on the computer and then the video. It wasn’t long before all the hidden fees were revealed. I became angry considering that he had driven so far for this so-called conference. It wasn’t much of a conversation. And let me have another conversation. Will this be an interview?
I’ve never been in an interview where so many details are left out until I meet you. AIG General American offers training, but you have to pay for it. Training requires a repeat visit to North Carolina for three days and has a fee of $200. If that’s not high enough, there’s also a $177 training license fee. Then add the licensing fee, which is approximately $100. Of all these fees, this one (and the smallest) is the only one that American General Life compensates.
He is also expected to come into his business already 200 leads (leads are people who want to buy life insurance). If you don’t have CC cards, then you need to buy them from a third party online seller. While I haven’t seen the price, I don’t think it’s cheap which leads to buying it.
Dressing for success at AIG General American is definitely required. However, if you don’t already have the right outfit, then it means buying a whole new wardrobe.
The listed salary is $450 a week even for thirteen weeks of training. But a lot of that salary will be eaten up by all the fees having more to buy clothes. After training, you switch to the commission. While I have no business with the committee, this was another question that was not addressed before it came to me.
It will be really easy to prepare a lot of money for this job. And then if the job doesn’t work out (if he fires you or quits), money for everything training and leave to be paid. That requires a level of trust that I am uncomfortable with. How do I know AIG American General won’t lead me to buy what I bought and then fire me? This job is more like having your business than an actual job. And he must proscribe that he is such.
It’s a shame that the food and jobs exchange law doesn’t apply.
