Primerica reviews and complaints 2
View all 107 complaintsPrimerica - fraudulent interview tactics
I too, received a call from a recruiter who was interested in putting me in management. Sounded good, I agreed to an interview.
The only problem was, the call was very vague and I hung up without having any real information about the company. I had to pry any information out of the guy beyond his first name. That made me uncomfortable enough to check them out online.
Boy am I glad I double checked before going for any interview with this company. I called immediately to cancel the interview. I can't afford to get sucked in to some pyramid scheme.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Primerica - money stealers!!!
these people have you sign up for their business. its 99$ to start and then they deduct 25$ every month. you have to basically go around and try to sell life insurance to friends and family... most of the time you wont be able to sell it because everyone usually has life insurance. so you kinda get screwed! and if you want to cancel it you have to write them a written request and sign and date and have your account info... and send it in. do not sign up for them because alls it does is take money from you... it doesnt qualify you for the insurance unless you give them more money. please i ask of you do not sign up for it. thanks for reading my complaint and i hope i save you the trouble.
CON VS. America apologists: you NEVER received a $25 bonus! RVPs aren't going to pay out, and, with the turnover, the next RVP isn't going to know what you're talking about! They have to pay for office space OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS! IMAGINE THAT?! I have my office, as I can work out of my car.

That's really marijuana head for con america to put the number of recruits in their perspectus. been going down, too. chances of dupes rising is pretty slim. if so, it's deceptive. they are gaining in siberia, or someplace where no one is going to buy insurance, even if they could afford:

Primerica has fewer complaints than Avon? I don't think so! You are LYING! DECEIT! Websites like scam report take down the complaints regarding conAmerica and do not allow you to put up any more. There are MANY times the complaints about a PYRAMID than even Wal-Mart, at&t, etc. Also read all the complaints and exposes. I've got some, including regarding conAmerica: http://nextaxpro.wordpress.com

MY FIRST JOB WITH MOTOROLA, I COULD AFFORD PRIMERICA . THAT BUSINESS WHEN OUT BUSINESS IN 2000. I SENT IN PAYMENT FOR $208.00 FOR MONTH OF MARCH. PRIMERICA SENT ME BACK MY PAYMENT FOR MARCH, STATE IT A REFUND. I CALL PRIMERICA A Representative told me . my insurance is not cancel, but i have to have the total amount of $632.00 before MAY 5 2011. OR MY INSURANCE WILL COLLAPE ON MAY 5 2011. I DO NOT HAVE $632.00. TO GIVE PRIMERICA. I'M SNGLE A PARENT . I PAY MONTHLY PAYMENT, I NEED MY INSURANCE I'M 56 YRS. I CAN'T START OVER MY LIFE INSURANCE. I BEEN WITH COMPANY 22 YEARS . PRIMERICA NEED TO HAVE A HEART. I FEEL IN MY HEART PRIMERCA WANT TO TAKE MY INVESTMENT. I PUT IN THIS COMPANY. I WILL DO A FACE COMPLIAN, I WANT KNOW MANY (CLIENT). FEEL LIKE I DO ABOUT PRIMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (DULUTH, GEORGIA) BOBBIE
Mike Wells from Primerica Palm bech Fl convinced many to take there money out of a secured retirement account and put into an investiment account. Today that investment account is drawing less than half as if we would have stayed in the pension plan.
He promissed returns of 12% over the years with a draw of 8%, still have his paperwork to prove it.
No attoney will take the case because there is no big money in it for them. He ruined so many persons pensions.
I was contacted at my job by a Primerica rep. He called my work number and asked if I was interested in a career change, if the money was right. And said that the company he works for is expanding and in need of customer service managers. He then asked if I would be available to schedule an interview the following week. Just out of sheer curiosity, I agreed to an interview. When I asked him which company he represented, he tried to sidestep the question by saying "We will go over all that at the interview."
Strange.
The following Monday I receive a call from "Leana", and we scheduled an interview for the next day. Again, no basic overview of the "job" or mention of what company she represents.
At the interview, Leana wrote down a list of company names (all insurance/investing) and just said that "we work with these guys to help people, but don't worry, you won't actually be doing that. We just need somebody who can come in and oversee the financial advisors in our new offices."
Again, not once was there a mention of who the bloody company was. I asked, again, and she told me that I would find that out at the group "interview" the following evening.
By this point I was begging to feel as though I was being taken advantage of, but I went to the 2nd "interview" anyways.
The office itself was located within a residential zone, in a small four room suite. It wasn't exactly run down, but that description wouldn't have been far off. I walk into the main room with a group of about 20 other people, and take a seat near to the front. On a screen in the corner, I see all these slides about Primerica, with fabulous ratings from 10-15 years ago.
Again, during this presentation, nobody actually said that this wasn't a job. They spat yearly earnings at us (mostly young, poor, or uneducated people) and spoke in confusing metaphors about what the position actually is. Even after the whole fiasco came to an end, I still had no idea.
I decided to do some research afterwards, even though I already knew that I was no longer interested. I looked through their ratings with the BBB, scoured their websites, and then came across a page that mentioned that Primerica was an MLM, notorious for their fake job interviews and shady recruiting tactics.
They are a legitimate company, and I'm sure there are individuals who would succeed as Primerica reps, but I would never want to work with or for a company that won't even give me an honest job description.
I just had a so called interview with this Primerica. I do not agree with anything they say. In my opinion, employers should never ask their employees for money. That is completely rude and should be illegal. They said the $99 would be for a criminal background check and a license. A criminal background check is less than $5. I know this for a fact since my landlord is an attorney and that is what she pays for an entire year to do checks. So that pricing is absurd. A license should not cost anything if it is legal. I am currently in college and will have three licenses within the next two yrs. and I won't have to pay a dime for any of it. If I were an employer, the only contribution I would ask of my employees is helping on a Saturday afternoon to help decorate the new office so to lessen costs. But that is the same as volunteering and I would buy them lunch for their help. I would never ask them for their income which is most likely being used to support their families. That is taking food and shelter from children, which should be ILLEGAL.
I think you are all missing the point. PRIMERICA is NOT for EVERYONE! It is only for the 10 percent of people that have a desire to be something great, and to do something special. trying to convince someone that Primerica is not a pyramid, is like trying to tell someone the sky is blue when they believe it is orange, if they think it is a pyramid than they probably don’t belong in Primerica, (or as a business owner anywhere else for that matter). Primerica is for people that have vision, desire, and determination. If anyone says to me that they heard Primerica is a scam. I politely explain what a scam, or pyramid is and ask if they understand the difference if they don’t "nice to meet you, but it looks like you are not a good fit".
Primericans please DON'T try to hire everyone, most of the people in the world don't want or deserve what we have to offer. Just look for the people that are worthy of greatness, and the mediocre will just start showing up. It is impossible for followers not to follow so GO GET THE LEADERS
Hope that this help you prospective employees to decide, do I want to be something better than everyone else or do I want to just make 60k a year for the rest of my life. It is your decision if you have any questions call any Primerica office in the Phone book you will probably find someone who can explain it to you.
All the best
Why did you call and cancel the interview? Better to just not show up at all.
For all of you saying Primerica is not a pyramid scheme because it has been around for 30 years, let me just remind you the Hell's Angels have been around for wuite some time, too. If there is any legal company in the world, that functions as close to a pyramid scheme (and a cult), it is Primerica.
I am sorry for all the People that get "scammed" out of $100 That goes to the state you live in. I am sorry for all the people that can't do real research into the LARGEST financial services company in the World. I am also sorry for the people that might go into the wrong office. There are 1000s of offices just like there are 1000s of churches. Some Churches have bad people but that doesn't Make the gospel incorrect. Some offices have bad people or tactics but that doesn't make the company bad. Open your eyes people the LARGEST financial company that has the HIGHEST customer satisfaction of ANY insurance company in North America can't be doing anything to bad or it would be shut down. Grow up and enjoy the free market society we live in. Or you could go live in a socialist country and make the same as everyone else.
I've been a Primerica independent rep for 9 years and I have found no illegal tactics used by this company. I've been able to obtain a legal license to market Primerica's products and our designated insurance commissioner has not shutdown our office because of any illegal activities. I have not heard of any SEC or NASD investigations into Primerica. All I can see in these complaint are people that misunderstand Primerica's true mission. These are people that believe that a "job" is there only way to live the "American Dream". Well, I 've been reading the news about millions of people that have lost their "jobs" because huge companies decided to downsize. I have seen people that once held respectable jobs are now begging on the streets for a handouts or spare change. Before you judge Primerica I suggest you experience it. I see that people lodging complaints barely get past the "opportunity night". If these people stayed to learn more of the company then maybe they would have a change of opinion. Think outside the box.
I, too, was taken in by the management scam. A friend actually told me Primerica had a management position open with salary and benefits. It was all well and good at first... until I realized how the company works. There is no salary, and I had just wasted over $100 signing up for a job I did not want.
The worst part about the whole thing are all of the Primerica reps on websites like these, spamming wonderful happy things about the company. There are many reps who sign up thinking about how much money they will make, only to be hit with fees, convention tickets, and then more fees. Going to "training" taught me nothing. They presented us with stupid little stories about achieving goals and having successful attitudes. Don't get me wrong, that's all well and good, but we learned NOTHING of what we were selling.
Primerica reps are like zombies. But instead of brains, they feed on your contacts.
Also - they kept billing me after I cancelled my subscription.
PS - try to take all of the positive comments with a grain of salt. That was exactly how I felt when I joined the company. I couldn't speak highly enough about it. Now I'm embarrassed to have actually been suckered into it. WARN YOUR FRIENDS!
i agree with chuck. you really missing out. Call the recruiter back locate a primerica office do something to get involved with primerica whether it be as a client or a associate. this is a great opportunity give it a chance
Pyramid schemes are illegal. Primerica has been around for 33 years and is governed by strict regulatory and compliance regulations. They have never been charged with being a pyramid or anything like it. They have the lowest rate of unresolved complaints at the Better Business Bureau of any company in their industry sector. Perhaps the person who contacted you didn't handle it well, but you missed out an an exceptional business opportunity.
