Numerous calls and emails from this moron about some "position" - no details on the company given.  Looked it up here and found out it was "yecch" Primerica.

Oh stop. You guys are a scam. I work at a Primerica office right now. What a friggin mistake.

its not a job its a businesssssssss

Previously a manager - makes complete sense - you must have pondered for hours through a thesaurus to compile the words that you've typed.  Clearly you have too much time as an unemployed former "manager for the world's largest consumer packaged goods company".  Funny, how you put down an industry you know nothing about.  I went this afternoon and did do a little research on this company.  Funny Nathan, how you only spin the side of the story to " preaching your garbage to the vulnerable of the internet."  You were slightly off on the company's yielded profit.  Last year, it was closer to $650 million.  You failed to mention that they also paid out to the consumer in death claims over $800 million, and they paid the "independant representatives" $673 million.  For me to think that I can learn an industry and succeed and you to say that it's a dream is to tell a student that school and education is worthless, because you'll never make what those ahead of you have.  From the sounds of it, it appears that you were a Quixtar failure, disgruntled. You "currently work in marketing for one of the world's largest internet companies, with the second-most visited site and largest e-mail host in the internet."  Such a busy man has time to surf the net spreading hate? Go to your 9-5, play with Video Google all you like, and stop trying to rob people with your negative gab.  I must appologize for the "attacks" on your character.  I, like you, Banana, and Michael R., hate the fact that people read crap on the internet and make decision based on bull.  Experience and facts are what truth and understanding are based upon.  Yet you posted an irrelevant link to a meaningless company, and hasted a warning on something you know nothing about.  It's like me, never travelling to Italy, warning people that it's like Bosnia - If I've never travelled or experienced it, how could I comment?  I'm an entrepeneur.  I've owned 2 Second Cups, and a variety of small businesses.  As you've attacked my character, things haven't always gone my way.  The truth is I believe that this company may be what I've been looking for - who knows - I'm excited about a chance to change.  Don't pity my children, we've accumulated a fantastic net worth, something I'm sure your father would be proud of.  Hopefully all those that are reading realize that the world is full of different people, each entitled to their own opinion.  Like others have typed - make your decisions based on what you see not read.  Some of the wealthiest people in the world had no experience or education when they embarked on their goldmines - they never listened to negative people, and were never influenced by those that had less than them.  Nathan - stick to your job, good luck - I'm chasing down my next dream!!

They tried to get me as well.  Primerica preys on the naive and the disadvantaged - students, immigrants, the chronically unemployed - with empty promises of "big money" and "financial independence."

The reality is that recruits are simply used as tools to gain access to their circle of contacts. After collecting enrollment fees from you and bilking what they can from your friends and relatives they move on to the next stooge.  I had a big laugh when I read that the average annual income of one of their grunts was barely over $5000/year, about one quarter what you would earn making minimum wage at a fast food restaurant -

Thank you for your timely response Julia Forte.  I’ve been writing to you and your team for three weeks now, and until now you hadn’t responded.  

“The users say they were contacted by Primerica; you say Primerica never contacted them and ask to take your word for it?....”

Yes! As a responsible administrator I’d ask that you look at the facts, many of which were provided to you in “!” replies.  Primerica has over 6000 offices in the United States and Canada.  When someone ‘Googles’ Primerica – This forum does pop up.  There are many cases in this blog that site “I've read through quite a few of the posts in this forum and couldn't resist throwing in my opinion...” and “My husband got 'hired' by Primerica about two months ago through CareerBuilder.com. He has a bachelors degree in Public Relations...” These are just two examples of many that are either ‘passer-bys’ or disgruntled with someone else using this form to vent! NO ONE HERE has EVER used CareerBuilder, We’ve Never travelled to St.Louis (another post), and we sure as heck never met (or called) “Punch” who clearly wrote “I was recently referred by a friend to "Primerica" for an "opportunity." “

On your home page it is written:

Reverse Phone Number Lookup
This is a user supplied database of phone numbers of telemarketers, non-profit organizations, charities, political surveyors, SCAM artists, and other companies that don't leave messages, disconnect once you answer, and simply interrupt your day.
If you received a strange call, unwanted SMS message, or just came across a number you don't recognize and want more information about, most likely you are not the only one. Search for this phone number to see the reports of others. If there are no reports yet, leave your comment to start a conversation.
“What's clear is the public has questions about Primerica and how it operates. Could you address the questions and refute the wrongful information in a public response?” Julia – if the ‘public’ has questions they can call us.  They are welcome to comment to any of our representatives directly – IF WE’VE CALLED THEM!  If they have issues with other offices or divisions of the company they need to resolve those issues with those offices or our Home Office.  Allowing negative and abusive posts remain when they are not of our doing is completely unfair.
“You will be challenging the anonymous posters? If yes, why not here?” We are only challenging the posting for which we know for certain we DID NOT CALL.  I’m not going to get into an on-line debate with people I have never called nor met.  As “difficult” as it is for you to “stay objective” we’re simply asking you to diligently read through the comments – it’s clear that there are multiple comments that we obviously NEVER CALLED! In fact, about 10 days ago we tagged all the comments that were never CALLED by our office.
Again, I appreciate your response.  I know as a responsible business woman it is of the upmost importance to maintain both your integrity and dignity.  Oh, and before you write “I take it you decline my offer to explain your side of the story and prefer to blackmail...” Give me more than 50 minutes to respond – I do work too sometimes!
