Furthermore, in reading your pathetic article, It's clear how little you know.  Our distribution is to a client base, not to our sales force.  If you had any clue what we ACTUALLY DID AS A COMPANY (RRSPs, RESPs, Life Insurance, Debt Consolidation, Will revision, Legal Services etc), then you'd realize that we distribute these products to the public.  Your "3 or more level" crap is about selling to the people you "recruit" Do-Do - we are a financial company that operates under strict guidlines set out by the MFDA and FSCO.  If there was something illegitimate, wouldn't they have found out by now? Why are we the fastest growing company in Canada? We do what's right for families - don't even bother responding unless you have PUBLISHED material speaking otherwise - get off the net and go make some money you fruit!

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.

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?!

Hey omg i have been loosing sleep i got hired as well and when i first started readin the comments i got all nervous and as i read along feel a bit better now. He is a really nice guy and i am not @ all gullable but people around me my husband for instance is sayin it is too good to b true, he needs to see it in order to believe it and i started second guessing myself but it doesnt add up there is too much invested for it to not be real they are a professional team with a legit location, and there are alot of employees like myself for orientation and prior to that got hired and i talked to some myself. I am going today on my first day i will keep u posted, hope it works out. Banana let me know how things are going for you? How does the salary aspect work i didnt yet talk to him about that? Biweekly? weekly?

All very Horatio Alger, eh?

Excuse me, I'll be right back, I just threw up a little....

I can say without hesitation that I have never had any question about whether or not I should do business with the geniuses at Primerica.  But then, I follow the business news pretty closely....

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.
