5 starsI truly do not understand the negative posts against ***. This is a life changing opportunity like no other to own your own business and you get out what you put into it, but you must 1- get licensed 2- get training 3- sell the products and help families. If you are not a self motivated individual and if you have convinced yourself that you **** at selling, then don't bother doing this and go get a regular 9-5 job. I've read alot of reviews crying that they've invested so much time and money and they've made no money. That's 100% because you haven't done any of the 3 things above, especially #3. If you sell you will be compensated, if you help others joining the business, you and them will be compensated, simple as that. I've seen the monetary results of those working. In a "pyramid scam" you don't have to study and get a state license and you don't have to pass a criminal background check done by government agencies. To get licensed at *** you must do both. Paying those initial $125 will only get you started on the road to start your own business, but you must then do 1-3 as above. If you sign up because you think this is a get rich quick opportunity, you're in the wrong place, and shame on those who sold it to you as such.Review fromNathaniel R

This is the worst company you could ever have the displeasure of talking too. They are vile and corrupt. They are swindling families across ******* and ****** under the guise of life insurance but with overwhelming hidden fees. They recruit agents only for them to recruit more agents and so one so forth.

When I was explained things in the beginning, everything seemed normal. Then I paid money and started taking the course and found that it isn't what they made it seem to be and I was in fact paying a fee to WFG. It truly sounds like a pyramid scheme and I would like to get a refund.World Financial Group

I was enrolled into the World Financial Group (WFG) program on August 8, 2024. However, I got to know that the business opportunity model *** offers is MLM-based after payment of $125 enrolment fee. I believe MLM is not for me. I have been involved in *** programs in the past to which I lost money every time. I believe this won't be any different. I need a refund of my $125 enrolment fee ASAP please. Thank you for your anticipated quick response.World Financial Group

5 starsI have read many of the reviews written here. Most of the complaints are from people who were looking for a way to get rich quickly. There is no such thing. It all comes down to understanding. Not enough questions were asked in order to fully understand. Then the individual felt tricked. I have been with WFG for some time now. It is everything I thought it was and hoped it was. There is so much training, help, and support every step of the way. Yes, there can be a lot of hype and excitement, and I get it. But I own my own license, which means I own my own business. I get to run my business the way I want. But I still have all the training and support and backing I need to run a successful business and help families into a better financial position. For those who have had a bad experience, I'm sorry you didn't connect with someone who could explain everything to your understanding. This business is like any other business. It takes work. Scams don't usually have you get state licensed or get a complete background check or comply with federal and state regulations. It's a great business opportunity for someone who wants to put in the work in order to reap the rewards of business ownership.Review fromRocky M

Got sweet talked into paying the $125 for background check and $35 for study materials to take a test that anyone could take to become a financial agent/broker. When a companys website starts off by explaining why its not an MLM/pyramid scheme, thats already huge red flag. Theyre constantly trying to explain themselves on why theyre not like other MLMs. IULs are not the only way to financial freedom, and they guilt trip you by saying how much this business helps families. I would like to request a refund asap! Still cant believe I got tricked.World Financial Group

5 starsBefore I started at WFG, I worked as a technician in the telecommunications industry. I worked long hours, unpaid overtime and still struggled to pay my bills. I knew I wanted better, and that my family and I deserved better. But I wasn't sure how I was going to make it happen. After being introduced to this company, I saw the opportunity as a great way to at least learn about finance. I like the idea of owning my own business but I wasn't confident it was for **** got my license after being introduced to the firm in about 4 months. This was around late August 2020. Things had gotten worse with my job and I decided to quit my job and pursue a career in finance at WFG full-time. Let me make it clear, this was not suggested to me. I took the initiative to take an extravagant leap of faith because I was determined to do something different to give myself and my family a chance.I don't get the negativity around building a list and talking to people that you know. I don't get the negativity around the business model. If you are looking for an opportunity I hope you seek out one that works and I can say with absolute certainty that this business model at WFG works. You may not understand it, you may not like it but not everyone understands you or like you. I hope you get my point.Today, I am a proud senior broker with the firm. We have helped and continue to help many families since being here. If you are looking for a great company where you can build a successful firm for you and your family, WFG is the place to do it. The coaching, mentorship, training opportunities, and associations here are world-class. Don't allow the fear of the unknown to allow you rush to make premature judgements. This is an entirely new endeavor and the learning curve can be quite step. However, if you are willing to learn and grow your mindset, you have the best chance of winning. All the best!Review fromWayne b

I've been in the company going on two years now. I haven't made anything, all my family and friends advised me it was to good to be true, or just a scam. I didn't listen though, I continued to play the game and learn as much as i could about the business. In the time period of me being in the business I've invested so much. I haven't actually learned much how money works other than learning the rule of 72 and the different brackets that get taxed. You get pressed to make calls, told that you should join events even when you don't have enough to get by yourself. They tell you the first thing you need to do is get insurance the moment after you sign up for the team. Some people in the business are actually genuine others have greed. I've invest more than 3k and haven't seen a return. So I Advise everyone to hear my message and think about it deeply how you feel about doing the job. Think about how your leader makes you feel, if they empower you or give you in it for themselves vibesWorld Financial Group

5 starsIn my own journey with WFG, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact it has had on individuals and families alike. From helping young professionals kickstart their savings journey to guiding retirees through the complexities of estate planning, WFG's holistic approach to financial wellness has touched lives in ways that extend far beyond mere monetary gains.What truly sets WFG apart, however, is its unwavering dedication to empowering individuals from all walks of life to achieve financial independence. Through a comprehensive suite of financial products and services, coupled with unparalleled training and mentorship programs, WFG equips its associates with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to succeed in the competitive world of finance.I have met the founders and they are of high caliber and character. These bad reviews have no merit.
