Complaint Review: Primerica Financial Services - Woodbury Minnesota

I received a phone call from S#%@e (I won't use his real name because I don't want him harassing me again) from Primerica Financial in Woodbury, MN saying he had come across my resume on line, was very impressed and would like to speak with me about some great opportunities. The thing that seemed suspicious is the only thing he seemed to know about me was my name.

He asked a couple of cheesy questions like: Was I interested in helping people with difficult financial situations, was I interested in exploring other career opportunities, was I trainable, and a few questions about my backgroun. I said yes and he seemed very eager to set up an appointment. He gave me the option of coming to one of the seminars everyone here has talked about, or if I wanted I could meet with him one on one. I chose this option so I could do a bit of research before I went into the so called interview the next week.

When I did a search for Primerica this website was the second result, second only to the official Primerica website which seemed shady (no information on careers). I even was going to give them the benefit of the doubt because in most businesses there are people who can't be pleased, so I typed the name of the financial company I use... nothing. S#%@e even went so far as to give me two reminder calls about our so called interview each day prior. Who calls to remind you of a job interview, please.

I called S#%@e and left a message that I am calling to cancel my interview, after doing extensive research on Primerica and reading hundreds of testimonials about their unethical and borderline illegal practices I do not feel I would fit well in your company, and good luck with your scam. He called back the next day and sounded a bit peeved, that he was disappointed and disturbed by my phone call, and if I had done research like I claimed I would have found blah blah blah, and he quoted some crap that ABC News supposedly said about them. He then reinforced the fact that he never read my resume when he said With a comment like that I have a hard time believing you have supervised over forty people like you said earlier.

What was so funny to me is they can't even think to run a good scam; making it obvious they have never seen a resume, calling for reminders about a job interview from a different phone number each time, and calling back after someone has insulted their company.

What I don't understand is how some of these reputable agencies and organizations can put their good name alongside Primerica; they obviously have no idea what they are up to.

Thanks to this website for preventing me from wasting hours of my life listening to these people try and brainwash me into thinking Primerica is a good company. I will be looking for these guy's resumes on monster.com when they go out of business and can't get hired by other financial companies because they worked for a cult.
