I got a call from Primerica saying that they are looking for recuiters and my resume matched their criteria( wonder how?). They asked me to come down for an inetrview . I never applied there so have no idea what this interview is all about?
Has anyone had any experience with this company and what do they exactly do( life insurance , financial planner etc)? They called me next week so i am looking for some inputs about this company. Any piece of info is welcome.
My feedback about Primarica is not at all positive. Apprarenty, when i came to Canada about 1month when i was in canada.i got a call from them from no where they found my resume on internet and asked to come for a interview. On the phone they asked about how do you feel about working with financial industry. I said awesome, as i was desperately looking for a job at that time. When i went for an interview at their Donmills & Eglinton location i saw lots of people like me who had come they put us into a room and a guy came and did the presentation about how to earn money and educate people for saving money bla bla and make money from them. I think its kind of quickstar thing but intially you have to pay about 400$ clear exams to get some of licence. And try to find similar person like you get him registerd with Primirica and that how it goes on.
I may be wrong? Any fellow desis had the same experince like me.

Are you new immigrant? Generally they approach new immigrants showing them it is really very difficult to get jobs and working for yourself is best option.
They approached me seven years ago when I was new in the country but when I went there to their seminar it is the same pyramid scheme. In Primerica you sell insurance and financial products vis a vis in Quickstar you sell consumer products.
Beware of the company Primerica, they target new immigrant. I got a call from them when i came to Canada few years back, i ignore their calls and so many of my friends (new commers) do received calls from them. It is a waste time to go and meet these people.
Its been a year now that we have been in Canada. I remember getting a call from them when we just arrived but by that time I had already got a job and i told them same. At that time i was over occupied with my new job and my pregnancy that i never bothered to enquire about them.
Now I am on my Mat leave and again out of nowhere apparently same person called again to find if i was working and if i would be interested to join them.
Does that mean that these people not only call new immigrants but they also keep checking our working status !
Thanks all of you for heads up.
When I was new I LOST my 1/2 working day for this so called "INTERVIEW" as Primerice was "RECRUITING" ..
They made me rich within no time and it seemed that earning 100 k a year is nothing ( I was told that I was thinking too low ) provided I invest my time and calibre ...

If you wish to enter the financial field, Primerica might be a useful starting point, provided you have a good RVP (kinda like a mentor).
I have nothing negative nor positive to say about Primerica. Can be good , can be a downer.
WFG is better for a start, in my opinion
Also Primerica is used as an add-on for many people to earn extra money and to write off expenses. Very big clients of AGF Trust. Actually so is WFG.
The compensation is more of a honeycomb than a pyramid. Can be good. I know many people who have fared well there.
