Because they "sell" the dream of financial prosperity and independence. Its just that less than 1% of those who come in the door ever get close to what they promise. You can make MUCH more as a traditional agent, either captive or indpendent.
Also--they take advantage of your "warm market" of friends and family. You start with any other company and that is just whom you start selling to of course. However, with PFS, you will be taking your "trainer" to your warm market and letting him or her sell to your warm market, thus destroying your best contacts for his own enrichment. You have to get your own recruits and loot their warm markets to make money.
Bottom line; go elsewhere if you want to become an agent or seek financial prosperity. The AVERAGE PFS agent makes less than $5,000 per year. Look at their own figures from their own website.
: Then why would anyone want to work for PFSI? This looks fishy to me if the agents are discouraged from improving their knowledge and skills. Isn't this business regulated by each state or federal government?
: It sounds like someone is out to take advantage of me. If so, how do they do it?????
