BEWARE: Job Offers from Altig International/A.I.L. (10 posts)

New Member Registered	BEWARE: Job Offers from Altig International/A.I.L. An insurance company that goes under both the names “Altig International” and “American Income Life” is constantly recruiting people on job sites across Canada and the United States. This is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that expects you to pay upfront fees to licence yourself, and is a 100% commission sales position. You are also expected to recruit people under you in order to move up in the company. If you post your resume on a job site, you will probably get an email from this company, asking you to come in for an interview, even if the skills on your resume have nothing to do with insurance or sales. Before you reply back or consider going to an interview, I strongly recommend you read the many postings about this company by past employees on www.scam.com. (In particular, read the threads “American Income Life Is A Scam” and “American Income Life is a Fraud.”) For those of you who are already aware of this company..... Kathy Tomlinson, a reporter with CTV National News, is looking for information from any Canadians who have experience with this company. In particular, she is looking for someone with direct experience working for this company, who is willing to be interviewed on camera about their experience(s). She can be reached at 416-313-2486 or at whistleblower@ctv.ca Her deadline is fast approaching, so please reply ASAP.

Animated Member Registered	Thanks for the warning. Here's another company to watch out for. Consumer Concepts Inc. They're an event marketing company like many other's they find high profile client's and then set up demonstrations for local reps to hand out samples or demonstrate the product. Unlike many event marketing companies this one is disorganized, terribly rude, and they do not pay on time (maybe 2-3 months later) or do not pay at all. www.consumer-concepts.com Avoid them like the plague.

New Member Registered	Thank god I came accross this site! I had an email sent to me (I have my resume on a few job sites) and Roger Smith (CEO) emailed me and wanted me to give him a call. Most of the jobs I've been looking into have been about the same salary, and I am in marketing/sales. I checked out the website www.altig.com and it seemed legit. So, whoever has dealt with this "scam" company I am sorry to hear it, but thanks so much for the warning!

New Member Registered	I am so shocked.........I am not an employee or agent for AIL but did go to the interview. You complain that they charge you an upfront fee..........oh my god !!!!! Do you understand that you get a license !!!!!!! AN LLQP Its your license to keep and you can use this license to get a job in any insurance company............it is thru IFIC and you get a discount thru AIL. As for being commission..........boy...........they are pretty upfront about that in the interview...........if you want an $8 per job, go to mcdonalds If you are serious about a career........commission and running your business is the way to go.......... Canadians have to be the most skeptical people in the world.......... I am a CAnadian but I am glad I don't think like all of you ! MLM !!!!!!!!!!!! DO you guys even know what you are talking about ! The fee they charge is for YOUR LICENSE I am just shocked! People, get a life........if you can't handle a commission job, don't apply

New Member Registered	Amazed... I get what you are saying. Yes you have to pay and keep up with licencing and commision isn't something to stick one's nose up at, but when I go for an interview, and I watch the interviewer praying on young, naive people, who like most don't want to work at mc donalds, I see that as a concern.

New Member Registered	I applied for some electrical jobs, and these people called me. I hadnt heard of them, and some of the jobs posted dont have company names listed. But still, American Income doesnt sound like an electrical company. I thought maybe parent company. I asked what position I applied for, and she said "we don't know based on resume's what positions are being requested" or something along those lines. So, I gave her a generic response about working in the trades and she said that this was a management/marketing position, wished me luck, and that was it. I was still very puzzled so I did a quick google search and lo and behold I find this post. Very interesting!

New Member Registered	Don't listen to amazed! He's just a goon they hired and he can't get anyone to come in for an interview because of sites like these that warn people ahead of time, that's why he's so bitter. About the money. They ask you to pay upfront $709 (in Edmonton, AB anyways). $397 goes to the Licensing course and the rest... which is $312 goes into their pockets! Yes, that's right, they pocket YOUR hard earned money! Amazed, why didn't you mention that part, ay? I used to work there and I know that they are nothing less than a scam! Many people went bankrupt because of this company. amazed, it sounds like you only started working there and got blinded by their smoke screen. I truly do wish you the best of luck, but when things go wrong, and they will, don't say I didn't warn you. The company names they use are AIL, American Income or Altig. Beware people! If you need more info on this scam of a company, feel free to email me at jtrudeau2000@hotmail.com.

New Member Registered	...A goon eh? Untill ANY of you show me some hard proof that what im going for is a scam (which there isnt any), or know what your talking about (which you dont) just stop talking. 90% of the people who complain are either from diffrent insurance compeditors, who dont get paid as well so they get angry or people who didnt make the cut. They only hire 3% of the people they interview, and to honest, your dealing with people everyday, just because you have customer service down on your resume doesnt make you a people person. It just allows you deal with people yelling at you, which few do. The people Ail sees, are union members who WANT to be seen. No cold calling, no door to door. You walk in, you say heres your options, they say i dont want thoes options, you say fine heres your benifits, have a nice day. and your out of there. The stuff altig provides is amazing for the premiums. in fact its great for what you get. And before you go off running saying im a "goon hired by altig/AIL" I'm still writing the exam, which is the hardest exam you will EVER take. Another reason why people hate it. CNN, the BBB and various other companies have looked into AIL/Altig and found NO evedince of ANY sort of scam. $397 goes toward the Licensing course (LLQP) and the other $312 pays for your training during and after you pass the exam. its not for everyone, let me clear that up now, people who havent made the cut can go broke. but its no ones fault but their own. Its a home study program which your mentor helps you with and everything in the job is under YOUR control after training. Booking, apointments, hours, who you train, everything. the amount of money you make is souly dependant on how hard you work. Plus you can retire after 10 years with a steady paycheck. Find me an article written by CNN, the BBB or some other reputable company, that shows its a scam and then you can start throwing accusations around.
