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?!

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.

Beware!!There is A LOT of noted criticism of Primerica and the way it operates. Search online and you'll see.Some have called it a pyramid scheme - plus, isn' it a little suspicious that a VP is doing telemarketing?Look a little deeper - do some research and then decide for yourselves.Just be cautios and skeptical - there is no such thing as a free lunch.

I agree with Strawberry. MLM is tough. Thank goodness that Primerica is not Multi Level Marketing! As Strawberry knows, Primerica is regulated by the government - check www.fsco.ca - That's the website for the |financial service industry, or www.ific.com - for all mutual funds.  As Strawberry clearly points out MLM comiossion cheques are low because you using "internal consumption" Selling to a saturated market - that's what you get for selling vitamins and soap.  Primerica deals with MONEY - everyone needs RRSPs, Mutual Funds, Education Funds for Children, Life Insurance - products that solve needs.  Thanks for the insight on MLM Strawberry, thank god there's still hope out there with companies like Primerica, and people like Straw and I!

Who CARES!!!  Strawberry, you fruit, you`re coming back to this site 2 months later contesting MLM organizations!! GO GET A JOB!! I work at Primerica, I`ve been a Vice President with them for 3 years. We are a direct marketing company. We deal in financial services. Go read the book `The ABC`s of Making Money` - it`s published, with an author - no internet BULL*. Go read Fortune Magazine, The National Post, The Globe and Mail, Success Magazine, Money Magazine or pick up the latest edition of Investment Executive which ranks all financial institutions and Canada.  All these publications support Primerica, it`s people, it`s system and it`s products.  Stop using the internet to spread garbage about things you know little about.  Get off your butt and start working.  Go into a primerica office, meet their people, and judge based on what you`ve seen and experienced. Stop being a Do-Do and get on the Go-Go!

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.
