American Income Life Employee Review

You've got to be able to memorize scripts and act your part

Agent (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 24 September 2023

You're expected to show up for trainings but you don't get paid for it. You're given scripts to memorize and then you make cold calls to try to get a sit for a meeting.Then you "play your part" . Try to sell. Or upsell.

Pros

No pros unless you're an excellent actor or good at mimicking.

Cons

You don't make a sale, you don't get paid. All your time put in, you're not paid.

Agent (Former Employee) - Mount Pearl, NL - 3 July 2019

Surprisingly they are rated much better than one would expect. Pyramid scam. They expect you to get your friends to come to work and then you both make money of the friends. Build a pyramid. They are not honest when they hire you. Very easy to get caught up in the brainwash tactics.

Pros

None

Cons

Not honest

Career Agent (Former Employee) - Canada - 2 July 2019

I began my journey with AIL being told I would make 40-60k per year or more depending on how much work that you put into it. The job originally sounded appealing because they preach that you will have work/life balance and that "family comes first". I was looking to work for a company that has a family culture. However that is completely NOT the case. To rewind I had originally applied on a job recruiting website and was called a day or two later to schedule an interview. I showed up to the interview and was surprised to see that there were 20+ other candidates. They stated that they were running behind so I waited about 1 hour before sitting down with the person interviewing me. After the initial interview if they liked you they herd you into another room for a "competitive interview" which turned out to just be them telling you how awesome AIL is and how it will change your life and how the opportunity is endless. It was not an interview at all just the head manager of that office telling you how lucky you are to be "chosen" for the competitive interview, videos about the company basically brainwashing you into thinking you are stupid if you don't join. I ended up being there for about 3 hours and wasted a majority of my day sitting around waiting for the "next step". I ended up being chosen to move forward and was told that I would need to purchase a Life Insurance License (over $230) and had to complete it within 2 weeks or they would not pay for my Provincial exam (Over $100). I rushed to complete it and was told that during that time I also had to be present at the -
