Thank you for sharing your experiences as a First Command Financial Advisor. 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 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. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you for sharing 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. We value the career contributions of military spouses, whose understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military makes them ideal for the role of financial coach. We offer portable, rewarding positions that allow military spouses to build careers that fit into their lives. We provide industry-leading training, mentoring, professional development and compensation. It’s why we’ve been recognized as a Military Friendly® Spouse Employer for five years in a row. At First Command, we recognize and appreciate the value of a diverse workforce, and we foster an inclusive environment where feedback is encouraged. Thank you again for taking the time to share your positive experience.

Pros

It is like someone took the best parts of military service (camaraderie, focus on mission, integrity, culture) and combined them with a mission (Coaching Those Who Serve in Their Pursuit of Financial Security) to create an awesome company to work for! You will be hard pressed to find an organization filled with so many like minded and selfless individuals!

Cons

From my perspective it is hard to find a con, however, our Financial Advisors are Independent Contractors and that business model is not for everyone. However, if it is for you, the results are amazing!
