not sure who this is as showed up as missed call on my cell.  this person did not even leave a voicemail either.  and normally good companies will leave a voicemail especially if theyy are hiring people for jobs.

Too funny - I just popped back here this morning to follow up, and I see all this.  Nathan - the biggest difference between PFS and these MLM compnies is that in Primerica you must get a license issued through the government to distribute product.  Registered products are a far cry from MLM.  In other companies you have tp purchase the product to resell it.  I can't buy an RSP and then resell mine to you.  As we straighten out the facts, Primerica is a giant, a leader both in Canada and globally in Term insurance, debt consolidation and various investment products.  Any comparrison to a company that is not a financial service company is invalid.  Peach - great question - talk to the person training you - infact, they'll outline things to you very clearly, better than I can do on the web.  Nathan - I know how you feel, that's similar to how I felt, what I found was that there was no substitution for going in for an interview, getting the actual facts, seeing the numbers, and asking questions.  Making assumptions and guessing over a system that has made literally tens of thousands of "independant representatives" financially free isn't fair.  Unfortunately you don't know enough about this business (you clearly know a lot about the industry you specializee in) to pass judgement or make comparrisons.  The fact you mentioned that representatives become clients is a funny thing - most of our clients become representatives!!  We just brought my uncle into the company - He was a CFA (not corn flakes though!! LOL!!)  We sat in his house last week, he loved what the company does, he took advantage of some investments and figured who could manage his money better, me or him???  This is the opportunity of a lifetime if dome right Peter.  Do follow your heart!!  Good luck to all those reading, use your own brain, not someone else's, you don't know where there's have been!!

This guy isn't actually the VP of Primerica, I think he's just a regional VP of a certain office of Primerica (sounds similar to other MLM where there are various levels within various regions, much like Vector).
Sounds funny that they have so much time to interview so many people, it's almost like they're desperate.

From past experience, most jobs opportunities are first filled my family members or friends of the respective company, so it really is amazing how they can afford to hand out this many interviews.

Mr. Grossman called me too -- for Team Leader. I knew I didn't want to go, but he was pressuring me on the phone so I said yes (always intending to back out last minute). Oh well! I'm not going to appear, and he can just see what he thinks about that. I'm guessing he won't be surprised.Primerica is a legitimate company with suspicious tactics. I do not want my conscience to be tainted with guilt for similarly pressuring people to be recruited to something I do not believe in -- just to support myself? No thanks. I want a job where people can respect me and not the other way around.Needless to say, my first reaction when I heard that this Mr. Grossman was from Primerica was disgust.

I've received today a phone call from this guy, who recommeds himsef as Tal Grossman. He talked so much, and he said that is locatted somewhere at Steels. He talked with my husband, but the call was for me. My husband picked it up. He has my contacts from Wokopolis, because 2 days ago i've updated my profile. Don't talk to him, for me is like a live spam. He promises so many...and all the time if something looks too good to be true, don't believe. Take care,

Hey guys,

I've read through quite a few of the posts in this forum and couldn't resist throwing in my opinion.

Unfortunately, I had been involved with Primerica full-time for about 2.5 years. I can honestly say without a doubt that joining this company was the single biggest mistake of my life. The second biggest mistake of my life was staying in it for as long as I did.

I know those that are Primerica reps will disagree and probably have some rehearsed lines that they always use for comments like mine, but save your breath. I know all the lines because, ashamed as I am now, I've used them myself in the past.

For all the readers that are even thinking about joining this company, please don't. I'm not just saying this as someone that "couldn't make it" or anything like that. But I just don't want anyone to lose all the time, money, self-respect, and confidence that I did. It's now been over two years since I've left and, trust me, not a day goes by that I don't curse myself for ever joining this ridiculous company.

I don't want to get into too much detail, but long story short, this company (at least in my experience), preys on those that are desperate, looking for work, and literally just wants to get the most out of them as possible.

PLEASE, if you're in school, stay in school, find a decent job, anything! If you're just looking for work, do telemarketing if you have to for a little while until you can find a better job. You'll be a lot better off in the long run.
