5 starsI love this company. The best Financial company in the world with access to the best companies and products on the market. The biggest downfall of this company is allowing lazy people with no grit to work with them, quit and then complain that they want the state to refund their state license. Like ****** thats not how the government works. If you have any work ethic at all you can make a fortune and more importantly help soooo many families that desperately need this companies products and services. Im so thankful they helped my family and gave me an opportunity and coaching to grow and bring my family to financial success!Review fromFlorencia G

5 starsI'm excited about this company first and foremost because of what it is doing to help families. Most families are probably worse off now financially than they've ever been. They need coaching and direction, they need a plan, they need help with debt, they need protection, and they need to know where to save their money in safer places. It makes me feel great to know I am really helping people, and when I can believe in what I do and know that it is right, I can get excited about it. I also appreciate how this company and its leadership know how to treat people with respect. They appreciate the people they are in business with and take a lot of time and effort trying to make others feel good about themselves and their businesses. It's fun to be a part of it.I'm grateful this company is giving me a quality, professional way to build a profitable business. I've wanted to be more in control of my time, my environment, and my income, and this is giving me a real shot to do it. I appreciate the opportunity to get out of debt and save some real money. It is a great feeling!Review fromChanel E

If I could I would give no stars. I have to warn everyone please do not spend on cent. This is a pyramid scheme. I thought I was going to receive support in getting my insurance agent license and every call I had with every meeting and event was just a bunch of cult followers believing in what they called mentors. I repeated respectfully that I wanted to learn more about the exam and the material that would help me become licensed, I was made to feel that I didn't want success and that I was not following their so called program. Please please protect yourself , all the information they offer you can obtain for free from your state. Also they don't tell you about the ***** cost that you will eventually have to pay.They want you to believe your part of a team but honestly you're apart of a pyramid.God bless be safe please don't give them a dime. I don't want my money back but I also don't want anyone else taken advantage of

1 starI have no interest in this business. Please refund my registration fees and ***** course fees .Review fromC. R.

5 starsWow, I am saddened to read the negative reviews as I am a happy client and also work with WFG due to how professional everyone was who I came into contact with. The $120+ I paid did not go to the company but to obtain a background check as required by law for all agents. In the state I live I did not have to do study hours as one person stated they had to do 56 hours, which can be required by their state before they could test. My training has been extensive and we meet several times a week in order to expand our knowledge in the industry and everyone, from top leadership on down have been available and eager to help when I need it. As with any major company, there are smaller shops and each one is run differently. I would say don't judge the entire organization by the smaller organization you were introduced to.Review fromErika B

They have been pressuring my disabled cousin who currently lives in ** to move to CA. When I say he is disabled I mean he needs assistance for his day to day daily routines. He is an adult but cannot travel by himself, he literally needs assistance to just to eat. He has not been vocal about what his plans in CA are but after some investigation we were able to find that the ********** team has been the ones responsible and pressuring him to move so he can "work" with him. He is willing to drop all of his governmental services because they are promising him that he will be successful and that they will help him. They seem to not be aware of his conditions and telling him that they "need" him on the team. We have close friends who work with law enforcement and have informed us that this company is a scam. Stay away!World Financial Group

5 starsI have the opportunity to work with World Financial Group as both a client and an independent agent. I found that both the service that was provided was extremely professional, educating on the various strategies that were available and custom designing a financial strategy that fits my needs. Because I studied accounting, I felt that this was a great opportunity to grow a business in the financial industry. In any business, it demands hard work, and this is no exception. I came with the expectation that I wanted to build an agency and took the time to understand their business system and help people put their finances in order. Unlike traditional jobs, World Financial Group have amazing leaders that have years of experience helping individuals become successful in the financial industry. The financial knowledge is by far the exceptional and I have grown, both in financial knowledge and personal/business development. If individuals are looking like an opportunity to put their finances in order, come expecting a world class education and a solid financial plan. Those that are looking at this from a business perspective, come with the mindset of working hard, developing yourself and transforming live. Not everyone that is a part of the company is business minded. Those that are succeed because of the hard work, disciplined and have a heart to help people..Review fromDoreen S

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. Awful "business" model, glad I did more research before moving forward. Please kindly terminate my pending account and dispose of my personal identifiable information. I received misrepresentation and misleading information and I am requesting that you refund me the $125 application fee and delete/shred my personal information (PII).

I came onboard with a colleague of mine and found that ********** is a yes man on the front end. I was told I could work with a different company as they did not have every product I wanted to use with my business. When I found another company and told my colleague about it (because she needs the product too), I was confronted on a phone call and verbally abused. Told I was "a loser and that I would never succeed." Smart guy, but a bully. Be warned.I giggled at this conversation because I have been top producer and recruiter in my career. I also wanted to let people know that WFG has gotten a little too big for their britches. Sometimes people forget to act ethically and have conversations. Important not to over promise and be a yes man on the front end in hopes that you can bait and switch.Posting this to warn people of the character of this company.World Financial Group
