Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. You pointed to one of several valuable benefits of working at First Command, the flexibility that comes with properly managing your own schedule. Many of our most successful Advisors also hold the dedicated support from our Home Office staff in high regard and often point to the Fast Start program as one of our most valuable offerings. But one of the most compelling elements of this career is the opportunity to serve military personnel and their families in a meaningful way. Regarding pay, First Command Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. We value all Advisors who remain committed to our mission of coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security. Thank you for sharing your review.
