After getting several phone calls from this particular number I finally decided to answer. And it was from a HR recruiter who had gotten my info from her Manager who had gotten my info from CareerBuilder. After talking to her over the phone for all of 3 minutes, some of the things she said just didn't seem right. So I decided to go online and google them. And WOW!

Out of all the sites that came up I couldn't find one with any positive feedback. It's crazy because everything the rep said to me I was reading online, as it had been stated to others. This company is really full of it and please don't get yourselves caught in their little scam. They tell you all these wonderful things and you believe them because you're either out of work or looking to improve your quality of life.

I just can't believe this. I know from now on I will do my investigating before going to another wasteless phone or personal interview. Thanks to all of you who took the time to post a complaint, it really helped me. And I hope I help the next person. Oh, by the way I canceled my interview immediately following my findings! BE CAREFUL!

I was hired as an agent with a life insurance company called American Income Life about three weeks ago. After laying out about $490 for licensing and travel up to Denver for a week, I started field "training" -- without any compensation. During this time, in the midst of my unscheduled and unpaid 12-14 hour days, I consistently witnessed agents lying to prospective clients AND prospective new hires. They also require new agents to learn various scripts, word-for-word, before they would release us on our own to start earning income. These scripts were also very misleading in many ways. Needless to say, I had some serious problems with this way of doing business...

So, I confronted the issue with my field trainer. His response was simply a pathetic attempt at justification. I even called my dad and asked his advice on how to confront the situation. [That was almost a once-in-a-lifetime thing!] I decided I'd play their game until I could get out on my own, then I would conduct my business in an honest and ethical manner. What a concept!!!

I didn't bring it up again with any managers until after a week and a half in field training. I did, however, make the mistake of mentioning on various occasions to fellow trainee agents that I was not happy about being forced to be dishonest each time I came in contact with a prospect. They seemingly had no issues with it, as they obviously complained to our manager about it.

Then two days ago, I arrived in the office after lunch. Louis, my 20-year-old, money hungry manager, tells the other two new agents to leave his office. So I'm left there alone with him as he asks me straight out if I want to work there anymore. I had mixed thoughts on the matter, so I said yes, however, I feel there are some serious issues that need to be addressed. We then talked a few more minutes about all these issues, only for Louis to conclude that I was a negative influence on the other trainee's and the office as a whole. And I wasn't willing to work hard enough. [This stems from the fact that I had a serious problem with being dishonest... and because I was unwilling to arrive each morning promptly at 8 am and stay until 9:45 pm; with NO COMPENSATION.]

I was then impolitely asked to leave because I was unwilling to accept their way of doing business. So, needless to say, not only am I out a job, I just laid out almost $500 for a job that no longer exists. Not to mention wasting almost an entire month! You have no idea how badly I desire to see a few life insurance policies paid out... I want to tell EVERYONE I come in contact with about this company, and to make sure you never do business with this organization. YOU WORK TOO HARD TO WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I am personally beginning AN HONESTY CAMPAIGN. Something they cannot even comprehend! It goes against their very nature!!! Assist me in this fight!
