The interview was a little MLM / fraud like. I recognize that NYL is a well established company, but they need to revisit their recruiting process. Upon applying, I received an email inviting me to interview. When I arrived, I interviewed with the district sales manager, whose interview style was to flip through a packet of info to show me that NYL was legitimate. I then took an assessment, and was given "homework", as he called it, to fill out a questionnaire. He indicated that during the next visit we would be reviewing my answers and seeing if NYL would be a good fit or not. He also stated that we would review my assessment scoring at that time. This interview was an hour.
During our followup he shared that I had received "the highest assessment scoring he has seen". Not surprised based on my sales experience. The second interview he discussed more of why NYL was a good company, and about how they wanted to grow this area. The second interview lasted an hour as well. I was then asked to go to the corporate office, 40 minutes north, to participate in a training. I was told that they would go over Marketing and Training. As of this stage, I wasn't yet offered employment. Following that 1.5 hour unpaid meeting (still not even an employee?) I was invited back to talk about the commission scale. Another 1.5 hr meeting, 40 minutes away.
Unless you like to be jerked around, don't interview for NYL unless you have no other options or are interested in their commission only lengthy interview process.
