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.

Truth:

-Primerica is not a pyramid scheme, pyramid schemes are illegal.  If Primerica was a pyramid scheme, this post wouldn't exist, along with Primerica.

-Primerica's products are legit, and highly recommended.

-Compensation is 100% commission. (Insurance Sales/investments completed by the agent, and the agents listed under their code)

-Mr. Grossman is a great seller, with no heart, and only sees dollar signs.

-Great opportunity if you are willing to put in work.  This kind of work, should be only recommended to people are truly self-motivated, and goal oriented.  If you need to be instructed on what to do, you better off at McDonald's.

-You need a vehicle to be successful in this business, very few have become successful while using public transportation.

-Everything is sugar coated, in the "opportunity meeting", do your own credible research before making the decision, no need to rush in signing up, Primerica is ALWAYS going to be hiring, don't let anyone fool you.

-Only you can determine what is right for you and no one else.  Just because the opportunity didn't work for you, doesn't make it a scam or fraud, you were just unsuccessful, don't take it to heart.

-Cold-calling is one of the ways that Primerica recruits.  Primerica will teach other recruiting techniques such as:
--3-footing, (Random stranger comes and talks to you, and offers an opportunity in person)
--Warm market (New recruits friends and family will be contacted if they are interested in a new work opportunity)
--Employment sites such as Monster.ca (This will result in a cold call from the agent)

How come every time someone comes on and writes something positive, ironically within 24 hours 'someone else' has a negative rebuttle? Coincidence? The website obviously has someone on alert everytime something good comes up. It's understood that the larger the stream the more advertising it can command. They prey on bad mouthing reps - not sure what the purpose is, but Read what LOL had to say...Many companies hire both full time and part time representation.  When reading the legal posting - which is required by both the American and Canadian government, you'll not that the average income is such.  The company also houses 110,000 locensed reps and paid over $500,000,000.00 to them!  Some people didn't show up for the year and consequently made $0, bringing the average down.  If we averaged all the school teachers across the US and Canada and pooled their incomes, including supply teachers and maternity leavers, the average would be a far cry from what the actual ones who worked was... The same holds true for any profession.  It is a unique company where anyone can make it - it makes NO PROMISES, it requires a lot of work - like any business you want to build.  The reality is that the company doesn't require you to use your contacts, that's just an easy place to start. Rather, it requires you to use your mouth and speak - to build new contacts.  Regardless of the business you are trying to build, you must establish a name for yourself.  People need to know you're in business to do business with you.The model, while appealing to some, isn't for everyone.  "Irritated by Pyramid Shills" can rest assured as 2 things are for sure. 1 - The company is not a Pyramid and 2 - no one in the company wants to hire YOU!  Negative, dull, frustrated crybabies have no part in American or Canadian business other than running coffee to the President of the company!Primerica is looking for enthusiastic, entrepeneurial, happy people with excellent communication skills and a strong desire to help the middle market make a diffence and get better financially.  It's amazing to read so much negative stuff from people that are truly not doing much else with their lives.  They search "Primerica" on google just to come to a site like this and dump - hoping to keep someone else from taking a chance and bettering themselves... I wish both sides much luck!Oh... and to the JOKER above - who copies and clicks the link to the Primerica disclosure page which shows average earnings, and then calls this company a "pyramid" and "they just want you to recruit more people..." If you actually took the time to read the link you posted it also shows that Primerica is a publically traded company, regulated by both the American and Canadian governments (respectively), goes through how every individual is an independant contractor... etc etc... try this link on...http://news.primerica.com/

He called me two days ago for a leadership position. I actually agreed to an interview, then got suspicious. Since when does a VP call for interviews directly, and why would he want someone with absolutely no experience. So I did some research, and tried calling him back to tell him I'm no longer interested. Anyway, I couldn't reach him so I just skipped the interview. He called me back today, about 15 mins after my scheduled interview, and sounded quite upset. I told him that I'm not interested in sales, and he kept saying that it wasn't, without telling me exactly what the position was other than "leading an office". He eventually said good luck and call me back when you grow up, then I was sure he's not the real deal.

I just got a call from Tal Grossman as well. I was guaranteed that this was not a sales position but a professional leadership role. I know this is probably some kind of scam but I will attend the interview anyways just to see how "professional" everything is.

I will keep you guys updated

If you are being harassed or extorted call your local police department--not an attorney. They have special tasks forces, or they will contact your local FBI department  that works with wire fraud, which is what these calls fall underneath due the fact they called you on a phone. They will give you the information/advice  you need to help you.
