AGLA Interview This Thursday

[PatrPrinPrec]

Hello, Nice to meet you all. I'm Patrice in Atlanta.

Today I had a brief phone interview with AGLA. It went pretty well. Just some small talk about the company and my qualifications. The initial interview is set for this Thursday with AGLA to meet face to face. I have looked at a few other companies previously but I feel that AGLA might be pretty good. Would AGLA be a good company for starters in the insurance industry? I have some questions written down to ask on Thursday. What would be some really good questions to ask, what would be relevant questions?

Thank you, I'm glad to be apart of the forum.

So much information, yet so little value.

AGLA is going to teach you to sell worksite products and an overhyped UL. If you want to go B2B trying to get employers to let you pitch their employees for voluntary products, AGLA is the place for you. Also, AGLA is strictly captive, so you can't even do group health to get into more businesses. They did start out as a debit company, so there may be some offices that focus on the kitchen table market. Whether or not you will succeed there depends on your manager, your work ethic, and if this type of market is for you.
