Pros

There is great support from the company as well as training for getting into finance without a background in the field. Amazing team and work culture.

Have to build your own leads and possibilities. Do not expect anyone to just walk through the door and fall in your lap.

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. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to act as independent contractors. Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide face-to-face financial coaching. They learn how to coach our clients to become financially disciplined and confident in their pursuit of financial security. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. We appreciate your comments on the benefits of working at First Command, including training, scheduling flexibility, and dedicated support from our Home Office. At First Command, 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. 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. Remember, you may be an independent Advisor, but you are not alone in this venture. The Home Office is here to support you on your journey at First Command. We’re excited you’re here and hope you’ll send another review down the line as your business grows.
