Great work environment! I learned a lot regarding investment and insurance companies! Loved my position. The amount of hours you work can be based off how much work you have.

Cons

Even though you learn a lot there was little room to move up within the company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your 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 supported. As you note, the Advisor role can be challenging. However, it also comes with many opportunities. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Through the program, Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide quality, face-to-face financial coaching. They learn how to coach our clients to become financially disciplined and confident in their pursuit of financial security. Advisors are offered a full array of employee benefits and are salaried during the training period. 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.
