Im at the mall, doing my work and some lady pulls me aside and starts pitching me how great primerica is and that i could be my own boss and this and that... then she had the audacity to say that primerica was number one on the fortune 500 list. At this point im thinking, "Poor lady, she has no idea what lies they might be telling her."

so i go to fortune.com and start searching where exactly primerica falls in, and i cant get anywhere. you have to subscribe to the site to be able to get any of their lists.

i do a google search for "primerica fortune 500" and i get something, but the info is coming straight from primerica's web site.

im so not interested in being another pawn of theirs, but this thing is bugging me like a splinter and i have to know where exactly that company falls in the fortune 500 list.

Thanks a mil.

I had a run in with them as well. Its a financial group thats associated with Citi group. Basically from my understanding they try to help families with their future by providing insurance, which you get a commission of. It's been over a year so I might be a little off on that.

I have a few 'friends' that do that. Its basically a pyramid scheme. Its financial consultants... but the ones that you probably will want to avoid. They try to sell you their own insurance, funds etc...

If you work for them, then you basically get a commission on what you sell. Of course, the real money is to get folks to work for them ... you would be their manager, and you get a small cut of what they sell - and so on, and so on.
