Hi, i recently received an email from First Investors Corporation to come in for an interview regarding a financial services internship. Then i googled the company and 80% of the hits on google were relating to a scam. I was wondering if any of you have heard about this? Any thoughts on what i should do?

SCAM!
what did you put in Google? How come I can't find that 80% of the hits?
dana is this you or your friend? lol
my friend interned there...i guess it was legit.
its an insurance/financial services sales job.
If they've been around since 1930, that's one hell of a scam thier running... I'd go just to see how they're pulling it off
First Investors Corporation is NO scam. It's a legit firm, as are Northwestern Mutual, Ameriprise, AXA, John Hancock and the other firms whose reputations are being unfairly trashed on this site. The simple truth is that folks who invest time labeling bona fide firms as "scams" usually know absolutely nothing about those companies, and likely would not qualify to work there. Or they were booted out and have an axe to grind.
You are clearly a troll. Why bump a thread that's over a month old if you don't actually work at one of these places yourself. I actually know these companies as their slimy recruiters and representatives visit my campus for career fairs as well as many other universities' career fairs and recruiting events. There is nothing good about telling prospective interns to gather a list of at least 30 names before they come into work the first day and have them cold call to death. If you are not a troll, and completely serious, I feel sorry for you if telling people they will die and shoving annuities down their throat sounds like a good career...
