Do you have a resume posted online? If so, you have probably, sooner or later, received an email from Primerica.
It takes a bit of digging before you find out that Primerica is a multilevel marketing organization. They're not really offering you a job... just an "opportunity", of course to make lots of money. It is certainly misleading, and in our own experience, there was NO correlation between the resumes posted and the "job" offered.
The first tip-off is that they want you to come to an introductory meeting, where there will be lots of other "interviewees". When have you ever been contacted by a company for a legitimate job and told you will need to come on a Thursday evening to a meeting with a group? One person who wrote in saying he works for Primerica, says these agents are acting on their own, in violation of company rules (see the post below).
However, the Atlanta Better Business Bureau's website records 65 complaints about this Primerica in the past 3 years. The BBB says the complaints are resolved, so if you do go, and want your money back, call the BBB. See http://www.atlanta.bbb.org/commonre...tml?compid=6985
And you want to try to sell (what we think are) overpriced products to your friends and family, go on to the meeting. But don't say we didn't warn you!
Here are some comments we've found on the internet from others:
I have read some of your scam reports regarding Primercia. I am a rep with Primerica and do not support nor does the company support or endorse any deceptive recruiting tactics. These agents that are setting people up for a "job interview" are being deceptive. it isn't right and they should be reprimanded for what they do.
I am sorry some of your respondants have had bad experiences. Don't the whole by some of it's parts. There are always a few in every business that mess it up for everyone else: car salesmen, insurance companies, oil companies, telemarketers, lawyers, the list is long and includes every sector of American business.
PFS is a business opportunity and a great one at that. Primerica, a division of Citigroup, offers a wide variety of financial services to middle class America. The market most forgotten by Wall Street.
