Pros

Client focused, employee focused, ESOP benefit, strong maternity and paternity leave, promotes from within, culture of care and respect, great work life balance

Cons

I wouldn't really list anything as a con, but I think there are opportunities First Command has by just including to listen to employee voice through feedback and surveys.

Pros

I've worked for First Command for almost 32 years now. I love our Mission of "coaching those who serve" and have seen firsthand the value our financial Advisors provide to clients, which include members of my family and me. As an employee, First Command has taught me the importance of "paying yourself first," and thanks to their generous profit-sharing plan, I can look forward to a very nice retirement when the time comes. Until then, I will continue working at a job I love for a company I'm so proud to be part of.

Cons

I can't really think of any cons to share, especially now that we can flex our schedule and work from home at least 3 days a week. That flexibility has been a game changer.
