WOW! some people amaze me...
We are a WORLDWIDE company. Run out of people? how many people are born every year? many families have more than 3 kids... people will always keep populating. and there will always people whether within or on the outside that need our services.Services that we have to take STATE Exams to provide to our customers. We have not even touched the tip of the Iceburg. And about PYRAMIDs.... this is a repost of someone elses... It basically says (and its true) that your job, my former jobs, the government and the military are all PYRAMIDs too. Ur afraid of "being a part of one"? Guess what, U already are. And a side note, I would rather be FREE too.

: no they didnt steal it. you agreed to join the company and then dropped out probably when you didnt pass the state insurance test.
Here's a little message for all those out there who think they know what a pyramid is.
You guys throw the word "pyramid" around like you know what you're talking about. What's a pyramid anyway? Hmmm, let's see. At your corporate jobs, how many owners of that company are there? Does your company have a board of directors or an executive staff? Now ask yourself, how many execs are there versus employees like you? More peon employees, right? Now who makes more money, you and your fellow peon buddies or the top execs? And who makes more, the execs or the owner? Do they start people out at your jobs at the exec or owner level or do you start at the bottom? And didn't they recruit your butt? Hire, recruit..., same thing. Lastly, what are your chances of EVER becoming one of those top execs or the owner of the company where you work? Sound familiar? If that ain't a freakin' pyramid, what the hell do you call it?
Now think about the United States Military. The president is Commander in Chief. Then there are generals, captains, seargents, and whatever else comes in between before the little privates. Who do you think gets paid the most in this situation? By popular definition this is a "pyramid" too.
The point I'm making is you all don't even realize how dumb you sound claiming that the largest, wealthiest, 3rd most profitable company in the world, listed on the NYSE (c) as one of the 30 blue chip companies that make up the Dow, is an illegal, sleazy, pyramid scheme. Think about it. We're talking about Primerica, the largest financial services marketing organization in North America, and Citigroup, the Number 1 largest company on the whole freakin' planet, for God's sake. You all sound so stupid!
First of all, illegal pyramid marketing organizations became illegal decades ago. Don't you think by now - 29 years in business so far -- that the Federal Trade Commission, each states' Dept. of Banking and Finance, and the Better Business Bureau and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) would have "cracked down" on Primerica and Citigroup by now if we were less than super legitimate? Think about it?
Now, if we are so bad, why has Primerica and Citigroup been featured on the front cover of just about every positive third-party printed source there is, namely Consumer Reports, Wall Street Journal, AJC, Kiplinger, Money Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, Success from Home Magazine, Essence Magazine, The Insider..., just to name a "few." The list goes on.
Words to the wise..., Guard your ears, eyes, and your mind. Don't be so quick to jump on a band wagon when you don't know who's driving it. And lastly, do some research on "pyramid schemes," so you can understand the difference between one of those and a legitimate Direct Marketing companies like Primerica.
Now don't get me wrong. There are many so called opportunities out there that are questionable, but you all need to be educated about what you're talking about so you don't sound ignorant when you respond on websites like this one. MLM is not for everyone indeed. It's a very cost effective and profitable way to market products to the massess. Yes! it DOES require work..., more work than most people are willing to commit. And finally, you all are correct about one thing. It IS harder than it looks. That's why whiners, compliainers, and frustrated, busted & disgusted, dag-gum cry-babies like a lot of you are DON'T MAKE THE CUT!!! FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE BRAINWASHED BY THE MATRIX, GOOD LUCK AT YOUR "PYRAMID" JOBS. I'D RATHER BE FREE.
