Uggnh!!!! A Primerica branch occupied the offices directly above where I work for several years (they finally moved out last fall, thank OG!). High pressure, multi-level marketing sales of iffy financial services was their thing.

Viewed from the outside, it looked like a real meat-grinder, and I rarely saw the same faces returning year after year. Those who did were inevitably in-your-face sales types with attitudes that oozed insincerity. We have limited parking for our building and they regularly had recruitment drives that would flood the lot with their marks' cars which would cause absolute chaos and no small amount of fury when multiple idiots would double or even triple park their rusted out vehicles. The foot stomping chants and cheers as the cretins rallied around the cause of bilking their 'clients' just compounded the headaches (did I mention that they were directly above my office)?

The building manager hated their guts and would regularly complain about building doors being left unlocked overnight and the disgusting condition of the upstairs bathroom. After about the sixth time they clogged the toilet and flooded the bathroom he decided to rip out the toilet paper dispenser altogether and replaced it with those dispensers that distribute really thin tissues that are so low-grade you can still see chunks of wood in them. Never piss off a building manager.

I'll give them credit for one thing though, they were smart enough not to try to hard sell any of the other tenants. That would have crossed a major line would likely have ended up with them getting booted from the premises. The only reason the owner put up with them in the first place was the rent they were paying. Of course, that only gave the weasels a monumental sense of entitlement to add to their already inflated egos.

Phew...did I mention that I'm really, really, really, happy that they're gone?

This response is just so profesionl (mispell intential) for a Vice President, wow I want to meet all the rest of you great people at Primerica, how could you not with this ttype of great attitidue.

I agree with those that say MLM is a bad deal for most people. It's "endless chain" compensation and recruiting. MLMs typically telemarket all hours of the day, weekends, holidays, and are taught to prospect and recruit 24/7. Your friends will avoid you if you bring this shiite up to them. <p>They teach people that your friends are losers if they don't join. People get obsessed because of the groupthink training sessions where they get your endorphins firing. 90%+ lose money in MLMs. Products are usually mediocre and better and cheaper elsewhere. Markets are often already saturated with people who have been harassed by MLM telemarketers. You work harder for longer hours, weekends and holidays included, but you don't get paid for that work, you only get paid to make a sale. You might work for a week just to get one sale, then you get a very tiny cheque because 6 or more people and the company also have to get paid from that sale. MLM is a really bad business model, but they lobby government and make donations to politicians so they can influence the laws in the country. <p>A lot of off-the-street types who are down-and-out join, but just lose more.<p>Check with www.the-cma.org to see if they are registered and abide by the CMA rules for marketing. If they are, you can file a complaint. If not listed, ask yourself why?<p>

I'm shocked to see so much garbage and diatribe written on this forum.  Many of the people who have been writing such slur were never contacted by this office, or have never really come to have an understanding of the company.  Simply said - I just started working part time with this office.  I studied law @ York and am a full practicing barrister.  Tal came into my home last week and completely redefined my understanding of money.  For that and for the chance to help others part-time, i am eternally greatful.   Shame on those that write slander to try to scare others off because of their own insecurities.

Hi guys!!!!  I got the call this afternoon as well!!!!!

I joined his team but changed my mind the next day and he still processed my hiring papers even though I told him not to. I am so upset. I suggest everyone with a problem with this person to contact the company head office and complain. The number I found to complain is (905) 812-3520 or +1 800-387-7876. I hope this helps everyone.
