THANK GOODNESS I checked it out, the audacity. He was so pleasant from the start, and his script seemed so perfectly rehearsed that a mini red flag went up in my head, but then he continued to talk and talk about the opportunity, how no financial background is required, and that all I need was a love for people, good interpersonal and communication skills, and pretty much all of the other laundry terms that job seekers put on their resumes. So, it was hard to accept the interview because he made me feel so confident and optimistic about being a "leader" and a part of "the biggest financial institution in the world". My sister and her close friend both attended the first interview and confirmed that it was highly unprofessional. The questions that they asked were basic personality questions, hardly the grilling that one would expect from a solid company. I am supposed to go to my interview tomorrow, and if "Tal Grossman" had left a number to contact them if anything should arise, I would've had the courtesy to let them know I wasn't interested, but they didn't. So? Again, thank goodness I did my research!

Also, for those genuinely looking for the "truth", just keep doing your research, go with your instincts, and be weary of  the super positive comments such as the ones below, because they too might be hired by Primerica or similar companies, doing damage control on helpful and informative sites such as these.

Good luck to those still looking for employment!
Stay positive!!!

This is so funny. I too recieved a call from Tal Grossman,from that number, about a job as a "team leader". Although I have no doubt that I would be great with people, I felt that it was odd the V.P of Primerica was doing the hiring. My interview was a couple of days ago, I didn't go because of some negative instinctual feelings, and I get a message on my answering machine saying how I missed a great opportunity, and that he has influences in the gta job market, and he might have to put a bad word out! Who does this? So completely unprofessional;to match my disregard for responsibility with your own disregard of professionalism!
I am so glad that I found this forum. To the people that have found good jobs with this company:good for you. To everyone else: If it looks like a duck....
You can't all be wrong, can you?!

I worked with this guy for a few years and I have to tell you he is a lier, he will cheat you, and he is so quick to get rid of you in order to contact your old clients and take your business away. I have met his family in his business and it seems like his family members have left his office in order to be independent and get away from Mr Grossman. Great company but Mr Grossman is a poor poor leader who cares for nobody but himself. If you are with him I strongly suggest to pack up your things and go to another office. Again, great company but Mr Grossman makes the opportunity look bad unfortunatly..

After seeing the list of CMA sponsors on their website, I question the point of checking with the CMA.  Here is the quote from their website that matters: "CMA is a private trade association funded by its members."  The CMA isn't out there to promote good.  It's out there to promote the sponsors' interests.  Strawberry said, "If not listed, ask yourself why?"  Shall I raise suspicion to the tens of thousands of other companies, then?  How about asking why there are only 20 sponsors to the entire organization, and why they are bothering with funding the CMA?  Whatever may be said about MLMs and Primerica, I question Strawberry's judgement.

I agree, Primerica is an enormous joke.

Someone tried to recruit me for Primerica; he claimed it was a great way to earn a living and I would be foolish to pass it up.

Long story, short: this recruiter quit shortly after because he realized that he had been duped. Last I heard he was selling trinkets at flea markets....
