Have any of you run into Altig Insurance, aka Torchmark, aka ai (American Insurance)?

Question

These guys fooled me into interviewing, but I smelled a rat from the beginning. I was just so desperate for a job at the time, I tried to ignore my intuition. These guys are a scam. I still receive email from them, as they continue to come up with new email addresses for me to block. I just wondered if anyone else had run into this job scam or other job scams.

Answer 1

Yes, I have experience with them. I used to work there. Their job is to hire as many people as they can, whether they are qualified or not. They make you pay about $700 to work for them, they say it's to become a licensed Life Insurance sales person, but it only costs $400 for the course and the rest? Well $300 of that money goes right into their pockets!

It is very difficult to make money with this company. They give you a list of names and numbers to call people to make appointments to go see them, most of them treat you like a telemarketer and don't want to see you. You spend 4 pm to 9 pm, 2 or 3 times a week calling people trying to make appointments with them.

When or IF you have clients that you see, you basically have to try real hard to sell them life insurance. What happens if you see 20 different people in one week and have wasted all your gas driving around with NO sales? You make NO money because it's all 100% commission.

To make any money at all, you have to pretty much work 7 am to 11 pm everyday, you won't have a social life, you won't have time for family and friends because that's how this company works.

On top of that, when you sell life insurance and make some money, your boss will make exactly the same as you without having to lift a finger! That's why they try to hire anyone they can!

Answer 2

I've run in to them . . .how is it a job scam?  They are an A- rated carrier - solid.   Were you interviewing for an agent (selling) position, and they told you you had to get a license which costs xyz dollars first?  That's how insurance sales works.
