primerica is a pyramid scheme..i'll say mostly selling insurance, attend to workshops and convincing people to join them. and u only make money if u get someone to sign up for insurance.. something like that! not my career goal i would say..

I received a call from this number...he knew too much private information, said he was from Primerica, talked very fast and was high pressure. Told me he got info from the Bay, Zellers, Wallmart, etc. There is no way that the Bay, or others would ever release private information.

Went to one of these bogus "interviews" in one of their "offices" located in a shabby strip mall.  Was total garbage, of course, a total waste of time - just a pyramid scheme as others have indicated.  Was hounded for months after by these losers trying to get me to sign up.

Even on their own website, buried under a tiny link to "Important Disclosures", they admit that the average income of one of their "representatives" in 2010 was (drum roll) $5,296 per year:

Quite the little dialogue Grossman has going on here between fake posters about the thrilling "opportunity" they have been so exalted to be invited to participate in.  Then again, fake postings and bogus job offers are pretty much par for the course for this operation and others of their ilk.

Avoid.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this Ray, but yes some of the posts are false information.... BUT... many scam artists/telemarketer/prank callers have telephone "spoofing" software which allows them to proram in any # they like to show up on people's call displays.  It could be that some scammer used your number simply by random selection, or someone who may just not like you and used your number.just so you know... it's not always the website's fault

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)
