: : I just came back from a rep interview.
: Was it an "interview" or an "overview?" Were you interviewed one on one by the personell department of Primerica, or did you sit in a room with 30 other people and watch a presentation? Just curious.
: : I have been burned by so many salesman fly-by-nighters and make their money and run companies, that I admit, I was considering joining Primera. I was mostly interested in the fact that the rep said that I would become a fully licensed financial advisor in 2 months and that he would eat the costs.
: It's a shame that folks have to lie like that and prey upon people's dreams. It's not possible to become a qualified financial advisor in two months, and Primerica admits on its website that it has no advisors, only commissioned salespeople.
: : I thought finally someone who would give me an opportunity to get a certification and the employer flips the bill. Then I read your messages.
: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but its better that you find out now, I guess.
: :And I'm sorry to say, for all those who are successful at Primerica, the cons outweigh the pros. I really want to get into the feild of Financial Planning, but I can't for two reasons, one: I can't afford the courses and I can't find the right companies to shoot for. Any suggestions wouldbe appreciated.
: If there are no financial services companies that you would feel are right for you, then I guess there are only two options really: start your own company or find another goal. Why is your heart set on financial planning?
You could always come work for New York Life. We're the #1 Life Insurance Company in America, see our website. I'm an agent, and can verify that the cost to you to get started in the field is very little. In fact, it cost me $60 to buy the books to study for my licenses. I now have my licenses, and have been with the company since October, 2001.
