I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Western & Southern Life in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview process is very long and very thorough. The process starts by filling out an online personality and values - type test. Once the test is completed you will be taken to a screen that tells you whether or not you have what the company is looking for. You will then be contacted by the District Manager (or other high ranking manager) and an interviewer for the company. The phone interview is conducted over the phone from the corporate office. Before this interview, you must send a job application and resume. If you do well on the phone interview, you will move to the next step, which is a presentation by management. In the meantime, you will have to pass a background and credit check. Once all of this is completed, there is a pre-contract program that must be completed. It is about 3-5 sessions focused on learning about the company. If all of this goes well, you will be offered the job. If you don't have your state insurance license, they will then guide you toward a study program and testing site. You must complete 40 hrs. of class for licensing.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Western & Southern Life (Skokie, IL) in Jan 2019
Interview
Contacted by recruiter through an email on job board. It was a few days later after showing interest. The lady was very friendly great temperature on the phone. I had not heard of this company but she explained the job well enough. I was emailed an application link that was said to take 25 minutes but it was more like 45. Very long application. Next day I was told what to fill out more stuff and who the area manager was and would contact me. I never heard from manager only received email of not moving on with me something like 2 weeks later. Things got off to a great start, just wish for the chance to learn more and interview with the area manager. Still do not know why the rejection.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Western & Southern Life (Youngstown, OH) in Jan 2018
Interview
Brief and to the point. Not very long, just wanted to see if I had a good natural market. Must have 200 names before starting. They will accept just about anyone as long as you are willing to go out of your comfort zone
