This company is awful. After I started working here, I had no progress and no help from my supervisor. They were all too happy to collect the money needed to start up at their company which was quite a bit, but afterwards its like crickets. So I moved onto another company and ended my time with WFG. Several months later now I have an email saying I owe them another $136 for platform fees. They sent me a very threatening email saying they will take legal action and add more money on top of that if I dont pay it soon. I wish I wouldve came here and read the reviews before I decided to join the company, but instead, it sounded too good to be true, and I signed up right away. These people are scam artist and be careful even getting an insurance plan through them because they only push IULs need to be babysat and monitored to make the amazing financial gains that they promise. But I promise you that theyre not doing that. And if anything goes wrong with your insurance plan and its not making you money, then itll be considered your fault for not taking care of it.

I was very excited when I was first approached by WFC/Synergy/Lighthouse whatever the shell game is being called today as I was looking for an opportunity to use my financial background to make a little money soon the side. After a hurried Zoom call I was signed up, they took my credit card information and I had to purchase a training program to get my Life and Health license. Made sense to me then. First off, the training class is c*** containing many errors, misstatements and was glitchy. I was told that I had to spend 52 hours studying as required by ********** law, but then I realized that they expected me to complete this in one week. LOL. So begins the pressure... Then I had to give them 5 references which were not exactly references, but potential agents which were called without my knowledge to recruit for someone else (thankfully I have good friends that forgave me). Then the steady drip, drip, drip of expenses, conferences, fees, background checks, more classes, etc, all to be paid by me. I would have appreciated an estimate of the expenses I would need to pay for beforehand so I could t least have made a more informed choice before wasting my time on this MLM. *****, the agent that first started grooming me was nice enough, but ***************************** was nothing but pushy and didn't care, or listen to my concerns at all. I'm fortunate enough that I picked up on their shady vibe before I wasted any more time or money on this outfit. Make up your own mind about WFC, but my recommendation is to run for the hills.World Financial Group

I do not want to work for world financial group agency ever again I was scammed. I asked my trainer where the world financial group office was so I could put the address in she gave me in my GPS and it took me to a dead inn of 2 intersecting streets. All the information they gave me was very misleading. I want a refund back for the $125.00 I paid for the application fee. Please dispose of, shred,and erase all of my personal information off this company's database system. Please terminate my account. My agent code was 98CRLWorld Financial Group

1 starWorld Financial Group is a multi-level marketing (MLM) organization. Which is very close to a pyramid scheme. The only way to make real money is by recruiting others into your downline, at which time you'll earn a commission of their sales. You do need to get an insurance license, which you pay for plus all the training. In the end, you pay for everything including a monthly "fee" to use their quoting software. During training they mention to target women and minorities.They flash a millionaires lifestyle during recruiting, how all you have to do is work hard and you can have it all. Expensive cars, homes and vacations. They neglect to tell you that you have to pay for any "company" vacation.If ethics mattered anymore, this company wouldn't exist. Their "financial education" is nothing more than simple financial concepts you can use ****** to find. Then they push million dollar IULs, stating "that's how you get rich". Let's not forget about their "mindset" training. If you don't have a certain mindset then you're a loser having an "employee mindset". Nothing more than cult mentality...From what I've seen, the agents care more about making a sale than helping people. They don't do a needs analysis, only thing I've seen them do is pushing IULs. Yet they claim to be financial advisors. But they're not, they're insurance sales people.Even the *** says 99% of people in MLMs will lose money. Food for thought.Review fromHeather H

1 starPlease take me off of ************* list". I was misled and shown large numbers of what apparently some other have achieved. Expecting someone to pay right into your company for a chance to be part of their company is the very bottom tier of a pyramid scheme. I wish I would have done my research on this before I had given you a single dime of my money. I want my $125 back, and all of my personal info from your database.

1 star***************************************** was unprofessional, cocky and unhelpful. Im unimpressed and disappointed with this company. I am widow. I came into a good sum of money. You would think they would have gone out of their way to help an older woman such as myself.Review fromCorey G

5 starsBest Company there is! People tend to listen to other people rather than doing the research themselves. looking into the company will help you realize the opportunity and benefits WFG brings. There is a lot of opinions in the world (The Noise)Don't get caught in the noise and focus on what you truly believe.Review fromClaudia D

5 starsWFG is a great buisness its not for everyone. If you have sales experience, buisness mentality and like to help people and want to make good income and make your own schedule. This is for you. Like any buisness sometimes it takes time to build your buisness. Everyone is nice at the office, it's a great environment to grow and build.Review fromAndrew S
