Complaint Review: Primerica

I have to been contacted by one of Primerica's recruiters and was scheduled for an interview. He basically told me about the potential that the company has and the direction they were moving in.

As other articles told, they are not interested in educational background or skills. They will do any and everything they can to get you to sign up with the initial $200, that they say they give back to you when you complete the training. That is also a rip-off, because they fail to tell you that no only do you have to complete the training, but also pass the state test which is another $100 to take. Now you have spent $300 and promised back $200, but can't get that until you are licensed.

Either way you start out in the hole and all of those kitchen table meetings that you set up for them to make profits you never see a penny of. If you are smart you won't give the initial $200, but if you did, you can get refunded $150 of that back. If you don't go to the classroom training, you may receive your money back. This is why they keep really close contact to you for you to make that first class and they know that the money is in the bank from there.

I had a very unfortunate incident happen to me at PFS that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. I am in no way blaming the situation on them in no way, shape or form, but the last meeting I went to right before my first class I went in with my 2 yr old son because I had no babysitter. My son is running around all around the office for a few minutes and comes back and wants me to pick him up. I do and then when I was headed to the elevators, my son wouldn't/couldn't bear any weight on his legs or feet. To make a long story short. I have a 2 yr old son who is now paralyzed from the waist down. This was my last memory of PFS.....
