Primerica Business or Job?

While you are searching for your perfect work at home job, there maybe some companies that present themselves as jobs when they are actually businesses. I came across Primerica invitiation and it reminded me several years back my husband got a phone call from someone who had his resume and they thought that he would be a good match for this company Primerica, a subsiduary of Citigroup. Well, it wasn't a job interview but not a business opportunity meeting with 10 other people.

A bait and switch? Absolutely. They pitch that you are going to work for a financial service firm. Maybe even telecommute from your home office.

Primerica is the company itself is built in the MLM mold, where sales agents get paid for business they do, but ultimately can get paid more for recruiting people to get into the business. You get promoted by getting more people and meeting goals and such, so agents obviously are motivated to bring people in as well as do business with you.

Do your research!

San Antonians spend more than 45 minutes a day commuting to and from work. The 23.7 minutes each way is very close to the national average. It just seems longer in San Antonio because of obstacle-course road construction and stop-and-go bottlenecks.

But people can do so much more at home these days. They can shop and bank, thanks to the Internet, television and telephones. Some can work just as easily at home.

As communications technologies advance to create better virtual offices, more companies are willing to give telecommuting a chance. It's a slow revolution, however, despite high gasoline prices.

About 25 percent of U.S. workers have jobs they could perform by telecommuting. Only 2 percent do so full time, however. Another 9 percent work away from the office part time — one or two days a week or each month

Telecommuting changing the way we work

Telecommuting’ is changing the way we live and work

New work-life trends are rapidly emerging thanks to technology and the digital revolution.

Given the stresses of today’s ‘commuter reality’ in our larger cities; chronic traffic congestion, the rapidly rising cost of fuel, parking hassles, more of our own precious time wasted just getting to our places of work - is it any wonder more and more people are joining this revolution and choosing to work from home?

Whatever way you look at ‘Telecommuting’, a term reportedly coined by a Los Angeles consultant to describe this new phenomenon, broadband is offering people new choices in the way they live and work, around the world.

For example, new evidence has recently emerged in the UK to suggest more and more people will soon be working away from the office. More than 2.1 million Brits already work from home and around 8 million more spend at least some of their working week in their homes instead of at the office, according to the UK, Office of National Statistics.
