First Command Financial Services reviews

-You need to be able to sell insurance. And lots of it. That is where you earn most of your money early in your career. -Each district is a separate situation, you may have a great manager who helps, you may have a bad manager who does not

Extremely antiquated technology and way thinking. Low pay. No opportunity for advancement. No remote work opportunities. No department budgeting for new equipment or to maintain existing equipment. All funds must be a onetime project approval from the CIO and board. A CIO that can barely spell IT much less run a IT shop (a senior citizen - formally from Cash America Pawn). Good old boy network. Every vendor ends up hating you because they encourage taking all free comps and stringing them along for more freebies but never ever buying anything. This company doesn't even believe in trying to succeed. It relies only on word of mouth and referrals for all their business. The CEO has even stated several times that they have no desire to grow the company and the goal is to increase profit at a very small rate. Ask yourself before you think about working here… have you ever heard of FirstCommand financial planning …and that is the way they want to keep it - NO JOKE!
