Pros

If your a self-motivated person who doesn't like boundaries this would be a great position for you. Time off during the day to be able to attend things for your children is flexible as well as an unlimited income potential, you are your own boss (to an extent)

Cons

Work in the evenings to be able to meet with clients, outside sales to build clientele, failure rate in the first five years is extremely high, it's more likely you won't make it as an advisor, income isn't stable, office is not provided by the company, self-employed.

Pros

At one time, First Command offered great opportunities but this has changed, yes the gararge is great and the employees support each other but management does not vaule them as much as it sees them as an expense and something to be managed rather as a potential debit rather than an asset.

Cons

First Command has over the past several years swept out a number of long term employees by telling their jobs had been eliminated with no opportunity to move to another position. If you are looking for a place to make a committment to a company that will make a committment to you . . . look elsewhere.

Pros

Near home. Many honest people that are employed.

Cons

No real training for the home office employees. A lot of uneducated employees. (ie. bad grammar). Tenure means more than experience or professionalism. Upper management rarely takes the side of the lower management and non-supportive of those on the frontline of management (ie. allowed employees to get away with disrespecting lower management)
