How come every time someone comes on and writes something positive, ironically within 24 hours 'someone else' has a negative rebuttle? Coincidence? 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!

Primerica solicits as follows:

You post your resume on Monster, CareerBuilder, etc.

They troll the resumes.

They call you.

They leave a voice mail that says something like: "our company is opening a branch office in your area and we were referred to you as a strong candidate for a managerial position." If you call them or speak with them on the phone, they will invariably demurr on the details on the business, and pretty much stay with the vague script wording that they use in their voicemail. They will stay with the "management position for a big important company" schtick.

At this point, having had my time wasted with one of the A-holes once on an in person meeting a few years ago, I bust them. I just say: "are you really representing Primerica". I generally get a sheepish "yeah". I tell them something along the lines of: "SORRY! I have a career, and what you are offering is total crap."  Usually they hang up on me. My fun for the day.

The point is, Primerica doesn't pay a salary, they demand an enrollment fee, they want you to attend their cult training, and they do not go out looking for programmers. It's a financial services MLM pyramid. The "jobs" are commission only sales jobs, and you create your own leads. You are supposed to recruit other Primerica stooges.  Utterly consistent and deceptive recruiting M.O.

The users say they were contacted by Primerica; you say Primerica never contacted them and ask to take your word for it?.... What's clear is the public has questions about Primerica and how it operates. Could you address the questions and refute the wrongful information in a public response?

Oh stop. You guys are a scam. I work at a Primerica office right now. What a friggin mistake.

Actually, last week I got the same call - I found him intriguing. I've applying for positions before, but never for a company this big.  You guys and girls are crazy.  He happens to be a nice man, with a lot of experience.  I normally am cautious, but like Orange, I don't let internet spam mold my opinion.  I decided to show up, and I got started just today.  I truly believe that when one person has questions they should always go to the source.  For those that didn't get more information and based your opinion on what you read here - call the guy (if he is still looking for people) find out more - make a decision based on what you here and see, not what you read from sceptical people who know so little, they use the internet as a research point.  I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.
