Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Glendale, CA) in Aug 2017

Interview

There are a series of interviews an re-interviews. Once selected, there is a month of classes. These classes are not optional. You must also take an online test and pass a state exam. Then, there is one month of full-time classes. It is impossible to have a second job. The training is great, but it is 100% commission. You are not paid for any of your time or training.
