First Command Financial Services reviews

Mandatory classes on ownership and feedback are given but not used. Ownership is encouraged, meaning you should take responsibility and be accountable for your work. Unfortunately it is not enforced. This lack of accountability creates a lot of work for people that notice the problems. If you notice it, you fix it despot if it's your job or not. Feedback and open communication are taught in developmental training. These classes are written by experts but taught by HR. Management does not participate in receiving feedback. A career development guide and class list are available to every employee but management will not participate in its employees growth and development. Their focus is only on their own career opportunities. Senior management will tell you what you do wrong but they will not help you improve. Basically, if you aren't on the path they won't help you get on it. Several executive positions are open or soon to retire and it is clear that senior management's only concern is getting that executive position and not on work or employee development. It is a race to the top and everyone is in.

outdated and not up with the trends of the company. They still think the way they operate will sustain them forever. C-level execs need an update, the CEO doesn't run the orgnization- you will find out quick who everyone is afraid of and why nothing moves forward. Benefits are overpriced, (i.e.. single person for a low deductible is over $350/month and family is like $1200 for high ded.. that's ridiculous). They say they have culture and values but NO one in senior management follows it.. it's all fluff. Be sure to do your research in salary..they underpay significantly and HR will say they did analysis and not tell you the sources. The bonuses aren't bad, but the merits unless your manager fights for you, you won't get a decent merit. No growth opportunity and esp if the one head guy in the company doesn't like you, then no one will like you. It's a bunch of 1st graders that spread horrible rumors and ruin people's reputation if you go against the grain. Do not go to this company if you plan to make any difference and make improvements.. it won't happen.
