Thank you for sharing some of the benefits of a career with First Command. Our mission at First Command is incredibly important to our employees and Advisors. They tell us that one of the most compelling elements of this career is the opportunity to serve military personnel and their families in a meaningful way. At First Command, we maintain our strong culture and mission by attracting and retaining talented people. We focus on providing our employees with opportunities for professional growth, and we reward them through an attractive compensation and benefits program. We offer competitive pay determined by third-party studies of employers in our market area, which is supplemented with a generous benefits package. Another valuable financial benefit is our Employee Stock Ownership Program, which is available to all qualified employees and funded entirely by company contributions. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Military! Family!

Pros

This is the best place to get the support and training you need to be a financial advisor, and if you are a veteran or military or family of military it is even better. I have never met anyone who knows or cares more about the helping military families, and the culture of the company is all about praising and taking care of its people

Cons

The cons are specific to being a Financial Advisor, it is not an easy job, it requires you to put the work in, but their are few careers out there that will give you the same benefits and satisfaction.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. The mission of the company is incredibly important to our Advisors. They tell us that one of the most compelling elements of this career is the opportunity to serve military personnel and their families in a meaningful way. Four out of five First Command Financial Advisors come from the ranks of veterans and military spouses. 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. Our Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
