I had a very bad experience with him and kelly. Word of advice, if any company ask that you pay a few head for the door, and you can get the fee back within 30 days regardless of what Tal says.

I fell victim to this scam known as Primerica. It all started one day when an unknown number called my cell phone and left me a voicemail. I listened to the voicemail and couldn't even hardly make out the name of the company from which the guy said he was calling. In the voicemail, he asked if I was still looking for employment.
As a recent college graduate desperate to find a job in this sluggish economy, I gladly called back and set up an interview. So I met with the guy who was to become my "field trainer" or whatever and he explained to me what I would be doing, and as a journalism major in college, I hadn't the slightest clue or interest in selling insurance, which is what I got out of the interview, but desperate to work, I agreed to a second interview, and the really weird part is that he asked me if I wanted to meet at the local office or if I wanted him to come to my house (strange).

I always felt really pressured when I met with him, and I found it strange the way he always had me write down names of people who I knew. He told me that there was a $99 fee but that if I didn't have it, I could do a "scholarship" program to where I go with my field trainer on three "successful" interviews with prospective buyers/victims in my "warm market" (people close to me - friends and family) to waive the $99 fee, which is what I chose to do.

So we went on several interviews to houses of people who I knew and the whole process just seemed a little strange to me. I found it weird how I wasn't participating (I would just sit at the kitchen table watching him explain all this information to my friends who were just as confused as me) and how he always left papers with everyone and asked them to fill out names of people who they knew. Even to customers who didn't or wasn't interested in the whole process, he would constantly call me and ask if I had gotten the list of names. Finally after the third client, my field trainer just stopped calling me and that's when I knew that I had been scammed. I could tell from the beginning that it was a little strange and didn't seem like a real job, but being the desperate unemployed college graduate that I am, I accepted.

I feel absolutely embarrassed to have to tell my friends that it was a scam and I am constantly apologizing to them for putting them through this and for giving out their personal financial information to these crooks at Primerica. These cronies are a weird bunch as well. My field trainer told me that I needed to go to the weekly meetings which were every Tuesday night and this was during the summer and Tuesday nights were volleyball nights for me so I rarely showed up and just made excuses as to why I wasn't there.

The few meetings that I went to were absolute repeats of one another. The same people got up in the same order and talked about the same old stuff - about how great Primerica was and how it's changed their lives, etc. I spent the entire time asking myself, "What am I doing here with these scammers?" To top it off, my field trainer told me that I needed to go to a regional meeting in St. Louis, which was the biggest joke and waste of time of my entire life.

All of these Primerica people are the most brainwashed and ridiculous-acting people I've ever met. I thought to myself that it was just a big cult.  Their phony postings here and elsewere, along with countless fake blogs and websites are indicative of the caliber of mediocrities that this organiziation attracts, and should be a red flag to any potential recruits or customers. To anyone who comes into contact with these people, I would say hang up the phone or slam the door immediately before they lure you in before it's too late. I made no money but lost no money either - only thing I lost was some respect among my friends and a great deal of time that I could have spent looking for other jobs.

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 was accosted at the local Wal-Mart today by a two-person Primerica team. While my immediate assumption was that they were husband and wife, I quickly picked up on the fact that they were more likely a mentor/mentoree team instead. I wasn?t so much offended by their cheesy tactics as I was baffled by them.How many people are actually so gullible as to think a successful insurance salesman or money manager goes to the local Wal-Mart to drum up a sales team? If these Primerica shills were as successful as I would think they?d hope to be in a similar business, they wouldn?t have to step foot in a Wal-Mart to interview prospective employees. These people aren?t selling financial products so much as they?re selling themselves.Sadly, neither of these two jamokes grasped the first step of making a successful sale which is to divorce oneself from the desire for the outcome. From moment one they reeked of trying to delve into my pocket and social network at any cost.No thanks.When you sell yourself to family and friends, you do just that. If you get them to buy, you have perhaps put a few quick dollars in your pocket, but in so doing you traded integrity that you once had with the people who trusted you most. This same integrity, mind you, is integrity that you cannot easily buy back. Regardless of how big your sphere of influence might be, staying on this path will guarantee that your well will eventually run dry. Granted, those very few select big wigs at the top of the Primerica pyramid (by the way, if you?re reading this then it?s too late to join their ranks) may earn a livng, the newest recruit however will simply soil his reputation to family and friends.Not my bag, Baby, and if you?re smart, it won?t be yours either.

I too was contacted by this loser who tried to interest me in joining this pyramid sales racket which preys on students and immigrants.  Avoid.

just an FYI to all who read this forum. isn't it funny that a VP of Primerica has to search these websites to try and sell the company to everyone. Doesn't a VP of a company have a lot on their hands??? shouldn't they be more concerned with the work that they have and not jumping on the internet to up-play the company they work for????i'm a little confused about Billy Wong's post. if it is such a great company wont people already know?? why are you on this web-site if its such a great company with such great opportunities???
