Pros

Offer 2 flexible "holiday" days on top of regular ones, offer hybrid work for some depts allowing to work some days at home, esop program is nice, Christmas bonus is a big plus, love on campus lunch companies

Cons

Waaaay too much mandatory overtime, management is horrible (at least in my dept) & no way to hold the accountable, systems/programs are constantly going down where we can't even do our job, a ridiculous amount of completely unnecessary meetings, pay isn't great, they treat tenured employees terribly and new hires with no experience get paid more, resources are severely lacking

Pros

I was given this opportunity to work in the company without having any prior knowledge of the industry. I have been given the opportunity to work in office and remotely. I have worked as a W-2 employee and as a freelance admin. During both opportunities, I have been given on-the-job training, bonuses, pay raises, incentives and room to progress in training and certifications. There is the this unique culture within the company that understands my lifestyle as a military spouse which has allowed me to balance my work and home life. Because of the connections I made in the company, I have been able to work in multiple districts, divisions and amongst multiple advisor teams.

Cons

There is a high turnover in the number of advisors I have had to work for and each office offers different pays and is not consistent across the company. Bonuses and incentives are all dependent on each independent advisor. And although I have been blessed to keep my position in multiple states, there were times I had to wait for the position to open before being able to work again.

We’re thrilled to hear how your time at First Command has offered you both growth and flexibility, especially as a military spouse. Your experience navigating various office types and roles while balancing home life is a powerful example of our mission in action. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback regarding consistency in assistant recognition and training across Advisor offices. Since each office operates independently, compensation and team structure can vary, but we’re continuing to explore ways to share best practices and elevate support roles across the company.
