They had me beleave that I was getting a job.

Page 1 of 2
I put my resume on the internet and I got a call to come in for an interview. So I went and then they called me back for a second and a theird interview. They had me come back and fill out some thing's on the computer and told me they would have a man named Tod Peaterson give me a call to get everything going. They gave me the things I needed to study from so that I could take my state test. I never heard back from Tod so I called him. I never got a retured call. I think this is a poor way of conducting business.

well i'm glad I know google. Some guy name Mr Johns called me. I was immediately suspicious as his message was brief. He stated he saw my resume on Monster.com, and if I didnt find a job yet he'd like me to come for an interview with his company. Ok......for what position? Anytime someone has called me about a job, they always speak about the position I would be interviewing for. Actually I just might call him and put his buns on the fire just to see what he tells me

Stay away from this company. Bankers is a *** scam.

You all are SO negative. Just because someone isn't an English major and can't type perfectly doesn't give you the right to verbally bash them! I'm sure Banker's Life is an great company to work for, if you are suited for the job. I decided it wasn't for me since there were no benefits offered and I'd read about the "cold-calling." Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I don't think that Banker's Life is a good choice for anyone that doesn't have funds to fall back on, in case they don't earn their commission.

I worked for bankers for 3 months and have seen the same results... The boot camp is basically a joke and you need to have at least a couple thousand in the bank to help you get by for the first few months. I had to take a second job because I had apps pending for two months. Bankers also DOES NOT make it known that they have a benefits available to the employees. Bankers is paying the agents $160.00 per plan C app from coventry. I work for W&S and I get paid $292.00 per plan C app from coventry! It just goes to show how shady bankers is. Bankers Life and Casualty company is the worst job experiance I had and I am glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Count your blessings that you did not get this job. I worked at Bankers for almost 4 mos and most of what you heard in the career briefing is a lie. No, you do not make $100,000 a year, you are required to make 400 dials (cold calls) a week or more, the hours are not flexible, you will be expected work past 6 or 7 in the evening and on saturdays. The pay is awful and when you do finally leave they keep your pending pay for 6 months to cover what are call charge backs. Carge backs mean someone canceled a policy and the company bills you for the comission that you had made from that sale. What they tell you about working with experienced agents who train you is also a lie. The first month I was there learning the products, I made less than $500, even when working the agents who are supposed to be making 6 figures. Most of the time I was sitting in the office instead of with these agents because they were running appointments with other agents instead of me.The only ones who make 100k or more are those who write annuities. These agents are either a usv or usm, which have been with the company for years. There is only one or two one every team so unless the one on your team quits, you have no chance of moving up to that position. I will say that I did meet a lot of great people (agents) at the company whom I have kept in touch with.

If you type that poorly and can't proofread your work, that might be a clue as to why they never hired you. You certainly need to be able to know how to spell to fill out insurance forms. How old are you anyway?

After nearly 10 years give or take a year why is Tod Pedersen gone????? That is the question. No you will not make 50K or 100K your first year you probably won't make money for at least 2 months. Go where there is a base plus commission they're plenty of companies that offer that.

I went in for the group interview with about 30 other people. I and two others were offered a job at the next (one on ones) interview. It sounds like they were putting you off because they called me often.

who workes for Bakers and what is your review. They say you can make over $100,000. Is this true?
