Has anybody ever heard of "Bankers life and Casualty insurance? Is this a good company to work with?

Question

I have an appointment with this people for a job interview. They claim that They've been in business since the 1870's, but I've never heard of them ( then again I'm from another country). Can anybody tell me if this is a good place to work in?

Answer 1

If you have an interview with them, get ready to be entertained. I went for an interview a few years back and it sounded like such a hoax. The one I went to was a group interview and they kept saying about how you can get bonus checks for $30,000 within your first couple months. If money was that easy to make, we would all be rich.

The company sells insurance to the elderly in the event that they need to be put into a nursing home or have home assisted care (been a few years since I heard their spheal so I may be a bit off). They have apparantly been around for quite some time, but like you, I had never heard of them either and I have never heard of anyone who worked for them either.

Go to the interview, listen to the info and make up your own mind. I just remember all of us at the interview leaving making jokes about how much of a hoax it sounded like.

Answer 2

They are owned by Conseco which I think is in bankruptcy right now.

In my experience, Bankers Life is not a very desirable company and usually hires anyone willing to take the job. You would be better off trying to get on with New York Life, Northwestern Mutual, etc.

Answer 3

That's the insurance my family had when I was growing up (late 60s/early 70s). My dad was a police officer so I imagine it was a pretty reputable company for an entire municipality to use for its insurance carrier.
