We own our business, we do not work for Primerica. Our branch is inherited by our families, when is the last time you inherited your job?
In financial advising we have to be sponsored by a firm. Where can you run a business for $25 a month as the only overhead?
Do you actually know the requirements to be a financial advisor?

I would like to know what’s funny about helping a veteran get started in a new career??

Honestly? It’s because you didn’t name the company + offering sponsorship and waived fees makes it sounds like you’re hawking Northwestern Mutual or a similar MLM/pyramid scheme

I’m a financial advisor that is highly regulated by the federal government. I am under the company name Primerica and represent over 100 of the top financial companies.
If we were a scheme why in the would would we be offering to pay over $2000 to help a veteran get licensed?
Your reasoning makes no sense since it cost the veteran nothing to get started and licensed with state and federal government.

Do you know the majority of the people are also part time just wanting to make an additional 500-1000 a month to make up for the lack of pay they receive at their jobs. I don’t know what type of work you do but I promise your company recruited you or you would not be there.
Have you ever worked with Primerica?

This thread has turned into a pissing contest where there is no winner. Primerica is a legit business that has MLM as part of its business model. Advisors can do well in Primerica if they stick to the job and follow their training. The majority of your earnings come from the business you bring in, not from how many people you recruit (at least that is the case for most long term successful employees there). Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and other wire houses have 90% failure rates and are effectively asset farming programs (30 mil assets in 3 years, or you get the boot, most only raise 10M, the money gets spread to the FA’s team or local office), so in some senses it’s like MLM even at “legit” shops. Financial Advising in general involves eating what you kill, and all major shops pay for people to get certified, Primerica just makes it more accessible by not requiring you to work a job 80 hours a week to earn the right to take the exams)

Thank you for your comment. All I’m doing here is trying to help other veterans who are looking for an opportunity. If they aren’t looking then that’s great, but don’t try to prevent someone for an opportunity to help themselves.
