I applied online. I interviewed at Erie Home (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2021
Interview
I received two calls from separate recruiters the same day of my application. They both gave me the same amazing numbers- but after the first I did quick math I found they are wildly inaccurate, clearly wrong. I was quoted an avg of 3 appointments a day, avg 40% closing ratio, avg 9-13% commission, avg $25K jobs. That adds up to...$702K(low-end) a year! But by their own admission the average rookie makes $75K a year...which are these numbers are correct? I confronted the second recruiter, he confirmed he was given the same numbers, but couldn't reconcile them, got flustered and hung up. I don't doubt they have successful sales reps, but I also expect they churn and burn through 95% percent of the gullible candidates that go to their "classroom style" interviews- and since it's straight commission it costs them almost nothing.

Interview was good. Everything was explained throughly and transparently. The office was nice. Seems like a good culture. Discussed benefits and pay and long work hours. Said it wasn’t easy but it was worth it.

If I was comfortable working a commission only job.
Very professional and quick, efficient and comprehensive! The managers are great and they emphasize having fun! Great environment and better people! Amazing place to grow and win every single day.
5 personal panel interview for the second interview. First one was a one on one. Male driven. I was the only female that worked in my location ever. Scheduling questions. Why you would be good when this job has a high turnover rate.
