Chris Lesh (604) 339-0806 or (604) 525-0818) called me from Primerica Canada. It's a GOOD company. They've done a lot more for my financial situation than any bank ever do would! He’s an easier person to work with than any boss I’ve ever come across so far. Also, he’s very suportive. The company seems to have a non-mainstream approach for hiring people which took me for a spin at first but I guess that doesn’t really matter in long run. If you get a call from him, I think you’d be making mistake if you didn’t check out the work opportunity at the Coquitlem office once before giving a yes or a no.

I too, fell victim to this scam known as Primerica. It all started one day when I was soundly sleeping in my bed when an unknown number called my cell phone and left me a voicemail. I listened to the voicemail and couldn't even hardly make out the name of the company from which the guy said he was calling. In the voicemail, he asked if I was still looking for employment. As a recent college graduate desperate to find a job in this sluggish economy, I gladly called back and set up an interview. So I met with the guy who was to become my "field trainer" or whatever and he explained to me what I would be doing, and as a journalism major in college, I hadn't the slightest clue or interest in selling insurance, which is what I got out of the interview, but desperate to work, I agreed to a second interview, and the really weird part is that he asked me if I wanted to meet at the local office or if I wanted him to come to my house (strange).
I always felt really pressured when I met with him, and I found it strange the way he always had me write down names of people who I knew. He told me that there was a $99 fee but that if I didn't have it, I could do a "scholarship" program to where I go with my field trainer on three "successful" interviews with prospective buyers/victims in my "warm market" (people close to me - friends and family) to waive the $99 fee, which is what I chose to do.
So we went on several interviews to houses of people who I knew and the whole process just seemed a little strange to me. I found it weird how I wasn't participating (I would just sit at the kitchen table watching him explain all this information to my friends who were just as confused as me) and how he always left papers with everyone and asked them to fill out names of people who they knew. Even to customers who didn't or wasn't interested in the whole process, he would constantly call me and ask if I had gotten the list of names. Finally after the third client, my field trainer just stopped calling me and that's when I knew that I had been scammed. I could tell from the beginning that it was a little strange and didn't seem like a real job, but being the desperate unemployed college graduate that I am, I accepted.
I feel absolutely embarrassed to have to tell my friends that it was a scam and I am constantly apologizing to them for putting them through this and for giving out their personal financial information to these crooks at Primerica. These cronies are a weird bunch as well. My field trainer told me that I needed to go to the weekly meetings which were every Tuesday night and this was during the summer and Tuesday nights were volleyball nights for me so I rarely showed up and just made excuses as to why I wasn't there.
The few meetings that I went to were absolute repeats of one another. The same people got up in the same order and talked about the same old stuff - about how great Primerica was and how it's changed their lives, etc. I spent the entire time asking myself, "What am I doing here with these scammers?" To top it off, my field trainer told me that I needed to go to a regional meeting in St. Louis, which was the biggest joke and waste of time of my entire life.
All of these Primerica people are the most brainwashed and ridiculous-acting people I've ever met. I thought to myself that it was just a big cult. To anyone who comes into contact with these people, I would say hang up the phone or slam the door immediately before they lure you in before it's too late. I made no money but lost no money either - only thing I lost was some respect among my friends and a great deal of time that I could have spent looking for other jobs.
You will see a lot of garbage posted by bottom-feeding Primerica shills here and elsewhere. These maggots are total failures and have nothing better to do with their time than posting phony garbage and fake websites all over the place.

Yup. Kinda expected certain people to be all over this. The non mainstream approach that goes with Primerica, filters out the skeptics and the naysayers. This page on chris seems ok but other writeups (blogs) look like a playground for these people.I agree with a lot of stuff that's being written on this company here. No one can question this company's bottom line credibility in terms of size, strength, and legitimacy. Also, the great potential that this company talks about is definitely there! I was given a good introduction to this company recently and every one who gets started should know that this is an "entrepreneurial opportunity". Most people expect this opportunity to behave like a job in the long run even though they're told that it isn't one. Right now, I'm running an internet marketing business and did a lot of entrepreneurial stuff before that cuz I know that JOB(Just Over Broke)'s suck! During the few times that I've been to the office in Coquitlam, I've heard people ask silly questions likeQ: Will I have to bug people if I work here? My answr: LOL. I've never come across an entrepreneurial endeavor that doesn't involve bugging people to an extent.Q: Is this sales?My answer: LOL. I've never come across an entrepreneurial endeavor that doesn't have a sales component.There's no entrepreneur if you eliminate BUG and SALES. Sorry. \If you've noticed that jobs aren't delivering for you which I'm sure that most of you have, you'd better try something entrepreneurial like this! If you're completely convincing yourself that your job (or a job) will deliver for you long term then go for it and "good luck". If I were to sit down with you, I'll bet I could prove that it won't.I sat down with Chris (604) 525-0818. He's going places! I was convinced that he's a Christian. How could someone have such a soothing voice otherwise? I'd join someone like that. Maybe he comes across as a bit pompous and that Brad guy did as well but I'm sure they've earned the right.Since people seem to be adding internet links from reputable sources here, I'll gladly help:http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/4133597/primer ... 84:b32406106:z0I've noticed that reputable sources don't write negative and/or falsified stuff on this company but anonymous sources definitely do!

Chris Lesh at (604) 339-0806, (604) 525-0818 is a nice guy. I used to work with him actually. However, be forewarned that he calls A LOT of people. His role is to find quality people for the expansion of the Primerica Canada offices. It won't matter how nice or descent a person he his or the company is, since it's inevitable that he's going to run into people who are overly skeptical or irritated by the smallest things when he's going through numbers that massive!I came across the statement from ?that Dennis guy? by fluke. As someone who knows Chris, has worked with him, and also knowing the good that this company has done for my financial security, I will be keeping a very sharp eye on this page from now on and any negative comment will be immediately overshadowed by an intelligible, well written, and virtuous counterargument. www.primericacanada.comhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primerica_Financial_ServicesAnyway, I wonder if the information on the internet is monitored:http://www.seattlepi.com/business/310004_msftsued03.html (Microsoft),http://www.canadian-money-advisor.ca/threadview/349.html (Royal Bank),http://www2.canada.com/windsorstar/news/story ... c2323a4&k=44323 (Toronto Dominion),http://www.telussucks.info/ (Telus),http://www.ineedcoffee.com/06/hate/ (Starbucks),http://www.disgruntledhuman.com/wmrtnf.htm (Walmart),http://www.cspinet.org/new/200901151.html (Coke),http://ohryan.ca/blog/2008/08/27/5-reasons-tim-hortons-sucks/ (Tim Hortons),etc?, just to list ?one? for each of them and these big companies probably have pretty good filters!Well, that research took a total of 10 minutes and for some reason I'm still not adverse to doing business or working with any one of them IF the income was right.
