American Income Life

American Income Life repeatedly lied to me about how I was to be compensated for my services. I was told that I would be compensated for training and licensing fees and was not. I was told I would be compensated for travel expenses and then was told that I was not. I was told that I would be provided with leads and was provided with old leads from people who either had already been seen, had already expressly told the company they did not wish to be seen, or had no clue what I was talking about and was not interested in the products. Then I was taught to utilize deception to get appointments and to lie to get them to buy. I was required to attend mandatory religious speeches. I was told that I was to be an independent contractor but then required to work 7 days a week under threat of termination. When I quit, I was lied to and money that was owed to me from business I had already written has been denied to me. My email is [email protected]

Job Opportunities

You sound like a total asshole, ma'm.
If we are even bothering to look on sites such as this, it means that we have the drive to look into offers received out of the blue.
You aren't representing your company as you would like to think. Actually, you are sending up more red flags on my end.
If you have to act like you are now to get ahead in AIL, I'm not sure I want to be a part of your company.

Don't go through with it!

SCAM.

They called my cell phone; I don't have it posted anywhere. It creepy. When I called to ask why and how the got it a woman named Molly (6182334492) said there is no need for the phone call if I'm not interested in the job and hung up on me.

So rude; there is a reason why I called: how did you get my private information. Jerks.

Don't go through with it!

My experience with American Income Hiring happened today: I received a voice mail message on my cellphone from a woman named Jessica, at America Income Hiring, and she left a return phone number. I had never heard of the company, and I immediately did a Google search before I called her back. The Google search resulted in numerous websites filled with nothing but negative information about scams, farces, rip offs, etc. I knew that returning the phone call would not result in an interview or position, but I was feeling ornery, and I felt like giving these people a run for their money.

I called back and spoke to Jessica. Immediately, I knew she was reading from a script. She said the company was looking for entry level staff to managers, and she asked me if I had any management experience. I responded that I was a senior level manager at three Fortune 500 companies, and I had been a manager for over fifteen years. I asked her about the position, and she said it was insurance sales to credit unions, and she asked me how far I lived from their office. I lied and told her I was closer than I really was, just to bait her.
Next, I asked her if she had my resume in front of her. She said, "Oh no, HR has the resumes". I advised her that my experience was in Operations and Finance, and I had no sales experience. That stumped her, and she again mentioned that the company was looking for entry level people and managers. I told her that I did a quick Google search on the company, and every search engine I used brought up website after website with pages and pages of complaints that their business was a sham. Jessica responded and said, "I've never heard that before". I advised Jessica that many of the complaints indicated that employees were required to pay their expenses upfront. She answered that if you took the job, you would be required to pay for your insurance license. I told her that I wasn't willing to pay any money upfront, didn't want to do commission sales regardless if they were legit or not, and my practical experience told me that I should never have to pay anyone or anything for a job. Furthermore, I told her that I would not work for any company that didn't pay for my expenses, or license fees, and I expected a salary for any work completed. The shock of my life came when she said, "Why don't you come to the interview tomorrow?".

At this point, I couldn't hold back. I told her that it was apparent that no one had read my resume, because if they had they would not want someone like me, because I had no sales experience. I asked if she was just cold calling until she found someone that would take the bait. Jessica didn't respond, and I told her to never call me again, and to remove my name/contact information from their database. I hung up on her. Two hours later, someone called and left a message on my land line.

I hung up, and I felt very sad for the individuals that were going to jump on the opportunity to "interview" with this company. This is not the first time that I have posted my resume on monster.com or careerbuilder, com, and received tons of other bogus offers. My personal favorites are the ones from foreign countries asking me to assist their company with their finances by cashing their checks. It's very sad, that people will continue to prey on individuals that are desperate to find work.

Before I close, I wanted to let other people know that there are legitimate companies that use monster.com to recruit candidates. Back in 2007, I was lucky enough to be contacted by a recruiter that found me on monster.com. The company was legit, I was qualified, and I landed a six figure job. So, for those of you that do not believe that you can find a job from monster.com, it is possible, but I would say it's few and far between.

I've definitley enjoyed the 21 pages of complaints of from different people from 2 seperate countries regarding the same company. I haven't been called yet but I did recieve an email from AIL and I found it odd how there was no contact information regarding this company. Unlike many I actually did apply for this job in Vancouver B.C. But when I was typing in the name I was alarmed at the fact that the word scam came up on both google & bing. Thank you to all of you for voicing your concerns and experiences. Here the negative does seem to outweigh the postive. I won't fall for a scam and I'd rather continue struggling away at Burger King or something than work unethically at a place like this. I found it interesting that the only comments that got "thumbs up" where those in support of the company. I'm not judging this company because I don't have all the facts. But I would rather not deal with them. I'm curiouse to know how that CTV story went though. Thanks!
