Initial phone interview with risk consultant manager. The process at Federated to get hired and is very drawn out. They were looking to hire for a job 6 months away. I feel the company holds employees hands and doesn't let them work on their own without guidance. There is a training program, then a shadowing program, and then someone has to watch you perform your job. It seemed like a lot of hoops to jump through to get average pay with a below average insurance company. The interview gave me the impression I wouldn't be trusted to perform my job. I declined the interview after hearing the salary expectations it was 40,000 lower than other jobs I was interviewing for.
