Thank you for sharing your positive experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. We are committed to creating and sustaining a culture that inspires our employees and Advisors and makes them feel appreciated and part of the First Command family. We seek to attract and retain talented people by providing employees and Advisors with opportunities to enhance their professional knowledge, develop leadership skills and grow within the organization. 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. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Pros

First Command is committed to the task of helping our clients build life-long financial security. Terrific on-boarding, licensing, and paid training program for new advisors. Although we have offices through out the United States and in several overseas locations, there is a sense of family and genuine care for each other.

Cons

Steep learning curve to keep up with new systems and technology being introduced every day.
