Pros

After retiring from the Army, I was nervous that I would be unable to find the same culture and feel as the Military. First Command has similar values, culture, and work ethic. I am extremely proud to work for First Command.

Cons

As a Financial Advisor, you are a small business owner. This comes with unlimited opportunities, but also the opportunity to fail!
