Primerica?...
Okay so.. long post. I didn't do more research until after the fact and started the process to working at Primerica. But after finding things about it being a scam or opening accounts in other people's names, I got worried. Well I knew it was somewhat notable how the "interview" process went but I was still kind of hopeful. Let me explain.
I went onto a group zoom meeting and some guy was giving a presentation about becoming a financial advisor and the paths we could take to go further. Stuff about learning how to run and manage our own agencies. Sounded interesting and less sales-based than I'm seeing in past threads. He plays some video going more in-depth about how they help people get out of debt and get better financially in general. Okay cool. Then we go into breakout rooms so the hiring manager can "assess" us and answer any further questions. Cool. It's me one other girl, and the hiring manager. She asked us how we were then basically started to explain FAQs that people "usually" have and proceeded to ask us if we had any. I have add so I was kind of zoning out but I did my best... I think she said if not we could leave after that, but that basically what happened for the other girl when she said she had none and left the meeting. I was going to do the same thing but idk if something about me stood out to her but she continued talking and started asking me more questions. I was like oh okay I guess this is more interview like. We made small talk about like what my plan was and I tried to ask more about what the company did or like where I would be going from here. Somewhere it turned into her asking if it was okay if she could start my registration process, I'm like oh shit did I just score a job that easily? But then like she starts going through everything and I *DEFINITELY* should have thought twice before giving her my info over a zoom call and then all of a sudden she's telling me to join another zoom call at 2pm tomorrow (Im writing this late so might be same day when y'all see it) so that I can meet with some *OTHER* person for my orientation.
Immediately after the call I was like okay cool I think I just got a job. And I did think it was weird for a moment that she signed me up immediately and that I had to pay for it upfront. I didn't really question having to pay in general though because I understand needing to pay to get any license. But then that's also where I started to get confused because like, is this just a sales job like Dunder Mifflin but for Insurance? And remote?? I also found it weird that when I applied, they were listed as "Phx Legacy Inc", which I tried to look up, but couldn't find much on. Probably something else I should have taken more seriously.
Idk I guess I'm just wondering if there's a possibility of anything happening to my personal info and also if this is a scam and I should quit while I'm ahead. Because I also saw a post and saw someone say that people don't usually want to leave things they've already invested money into, but this isn't the case for me. If I'm not gonna make that much or anything then idc, I just won't join the zoom call tomorrow and cut my losses on the money that got charged for the training course (if a dispute doesn't go through). I just don't know how opportunistic it is to continue because I've also seen some people say that it depends on the person and just might not be for everyone in a way. I don't mind finding somewhere else either though. I just don't know much about what I might be getting into and haven't really seen uncontroversial things coming from the peoples.

MLM story/rant
backstory: I am an introverted and a chronically sick person who doesn't go outside a lot, it has caused me to lose contact with friends and miss out in life in general.
So, an old friend randomly messaging me on instagram had me surprised (Yeah, you all know where this is going.)
This guy treated me to coffee, we caught up with each other's lives, he was doing some magical business where he was so rich and bragging how he's doing something big and life changing (it was qnet) and i was like Cool. i'm just here chillin.
He tried to set up another meeting soon, as an old friend i was flattered but my health wouldn't allow it and I kept refusing but the calls and msgs became absolutely unbearable that I finally agreed to meet him again and guess what.
It was a meeting with his upline or whatever preaching me about what marketing is, he started lecturing me about how he has sooo much money and as a chronically ill person I must wish I could work and they were basically using illness to make me feel less and to guilt me a into joining this stupid mlm bullshit i was sooo mad i didn't want to create a scene so I listened to their nothingburger lecture for an hour and then left and got home and blocked my "friend"
I have never been angier or felt more humiliated as they must have felt like i was an "easy target" to them. It sucks so much go to hell mlms 🙏
