Its weird  because i had the exact opposite experience as the other gentleman. My trainer helped my family save $1650 a year off their insurance and after that my family wrote me down 10 referalls without  him even asking.  After several successful appointments i have gathered 50 referalls in less than a month. Recently i got my license (which is regulated by the government) and my first week just through my referall market i have made over $2000. If this is a scam, can i have more please lol! All im doing is saving people money and getting them out of debt... This is working because i am working period. Is the company for everyone? Absolutly not, its for those who cant stand the average life you get from corporate America and canada and who want more out of life than just a paycheck. I am grateful for what Primerica did for my family and am looking forward to a long and prosperous career in this great company!

Looks like the Primerica sludge keeps coming back here to defend their garbage - kind of like a bad smell that won't go away.  Lots of useful information on the pyramid scheme here -http://ethanvanderbuilt.com/2013/05/05/primer ... -in-my-opinion/

I know a pyramid scheme when I see one. In high school I went to a presentation and it all seemed shady. A lot of kids and naive people desperate for work. This company takes advantage of people more than provides a service for them. If they're willing to hire just anybody to give financial advice to people, that should be an indication that this isn't a properly run company. I also find it fishy that "Carlos V" and "Mike V" (oddly with the same last initial) speak so highly of the company. It's absolute [***].

I am not just angry, I am furious. My boyfriend and I went to a Primerica meeting as an invitation from a friend's brother. We enjoyed the presentation, and told them we were interested in joining the company. We are young, in college, and thought, "hey, a cool job offer!" They were extremely, unnaturally excited for us to join. This is because by manipulating us and convincing us to work for the company, they got promoted. Basically, the people they hire are not employees, they are just young adults who they require convince their family and friends to use Primerica. By doing so, they get a sale, and the people who hire you get promoted. You are nothing to them. You are just another sale. So, after realizing this after the FIRST ORIENTATION, we told them we were no longer interested and went on our way. However, it turns out that they have been calling our employee references (which they required TEN personal references) behind our backs, saying that we personally recommended them for Primerica. What a great company. Way to take advantage of two 19 year olds. You go.

OMG, what you wrote makes so much sense. From now on im only going to do my research on REGULATED sites. Thank you who ever you are, you have totally changed the way I will do my research. Great post.
