Primerica Financial Services Has Vague And Ridiculous Recruitment Processes. Norwell, MA
I was waitressing at a local chain restaurant when a customer (aka the Primerica recruiter) ordered a salad that was not to her liking. Being a great waitress, and a dedicated customer servant I rectified the problem immediately. The customer told me that I great people skills and offered me a position with Primerica. She gave me her business card, asked me for my phone number and wanted to set up an interview as soon as possible.
I knew right away something was strange with this whole exchange. What the Primerica recruiter did not know was that I was a former general manager for this particular restaurant chain and used to manage this site for the corporation. I have chosen another career path in healthcare and am back waitressing at this location temporarily for the extra money and because I enjoy working there. I also have a college degree and continuing for my masters degree. (hence the need for the extra money waiting tables)
I was extremely skeptical that someone would be offered a job based on the fact that they corrected a salad that a customer in a restaurant did not find to their liking. I took the Primerica representative's card and she told me to call her if I had any questions. I asked if they had a website, which she told me they did although, it was not listed on her business card. I thanked her and told her I looked forward to her call. Out of curiousity I typed Primerica into my search engine and after their official site which is entirely vague. This ripoff site was immediately following.
I started reading the testimonials and although I didn't fall for their ploy. I just wanted to chime in and say there is something very sketchy about their recruitment practices. I myself have recruited people as a former manager and have had standards pertaining to the job at hand. I think they might be targeting people, such as someone they view as an underpaid waitress who might be willing to join their company no questions asked.
Unfortunately for Primerica, they picked the wrong waitress to approach and now they have sparked my interest in the worst possible way. Bottom line, beware of Primerica recruiters. They have an agenda which will be exposed at a later date I hope.
