Has anyone worked for Primerica? I have a friend who is an associate there, and they have really been trying to get me on board. It sounds, bonus wise and pay wise, amazing, but almost too good to be true. Experience?

Lmao if you're already an AE, don't even entertain this thought. If you're looking for a new opportunity, though, now is a great time to apply (to real companies).

I'm leaning towards a new job. I really like my company, but pay is only okay. With my ex's bills, lower pay isn't cutting it. Can I ask, what's your favorite place you've worked?

I don't know what everyone is so against Primerica for. I started out 8 months ago as a side hustle, and I just quit my job to go FT with Primerica. I've had a great experience. If you don't like a company, there's really no reason to be rude or falsely accuse it as an MLM.

Are there sales people who sell exclusively to friends and family? Yes. Are they the best reps? No. Just like with any sales rep job, you get creative with leads. That's a gross generalization.

OP please note how everyone used a laugh reaction to my message above, but NO one actually responded. It's because there are no legit reasons behind their dislike. All talk.

Unwarranted brag? How was I bragging? I was giving a review of a company the OP talked about. Given that, you know, I actually have personal experience with said company.

Thanks for your input, everyone! It sounds like I'm going to have to head for a new role somewhere else. Anyone have any recommendations? If so, please do let me know. Divorces are expensive even when your wife doesn't charge $36k to your credit card.

That's too bad. Primerica does some really wonderful things. Hope you reconsider.

I just had an interaction with a recruiter where he basically told me that I was overpaid and shouldn't expect any other company to match my salary expectations (even though I told him I had an offer that was within my range less than 6 months ago). He said that he didn't think I was "able to articulate any better than someone with a similar level of talent in his book but with 5 more years experience." I'm so upset and want to tell him to (professionally) fuck off. Is this a good idea?

So I’m leaving it & going into an industry that allows me to be 100% remote, earn 3-5x as much and help others do the same.
