Thank you for sharing your perspective. First Command seeks to attract and retain talented people by providing Advisors with opportunities to enhance their professional knowledge and develop leadership skills. One of our most valuable offerings is the Fast Start program, which provides intense professional development to prepare new people for success as independent Advisors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training period and offering a full array of employee benefits. Through the program, our Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide quality, face-to-face financial coaching. Regarding whole life insurance, our company does not focus on the sale of any specific type of financial product. Our Advisors offer products and services in the context of financial coaching through a comprehensive financial plan. First Command seeks Advisors who believe in this approach and always put our clients first. In this way, we maintain a culture that reflects the highest ethical standards and best practices of the financial services industry.

Pros

Great mission of the company to help service members.

Cons

Advisors get paid by pushing whole life and an invsetment called AMS that has high fees and underperforms. Not a good line of work if you have a sense of morals
