Pros

We work with the greatest clients in the world, our nations military! We are able to provide them with first class financial advice that most industry firms avoid because of a lack of "assets under management". Work flexibility is great and allows you to meet with clients while being able to have a balanced family life.

Cons

It takes a few years as a financial advisor before you really start to feel comfortable making recommendations to clients.

Pros

- Work/Life Balance - Great co-workers - Satisfaction of assisting clients in reaching their goals - Satisfaction of building a strong field force team

Cons

- Feel as though ACE is being used simply to track metrics, versus providing the service to clients that First Command stands for - Staff shortage at HO (understanding that this is currently being addressed) - Too many different training depts: BPC, Adoption, etc. (gets confusing as who to contact for assistance)

Pros

As an employee owned company the benefits of being self employed as an independent Advisor at FC are amazing. The people are fun and happy to go to work every day with other members of the FC family

Cons

The only down side of working here is you have to work hard for the first several years as you build your own team and clientele. It's really easy with the tools provided buy FC.
