Pros

Great mission of the company to help service members.

Cons

Advisors get paid by pushing whole life and an invsetment called AMS that has high fees and underperforms. Not a good line of work if you have a sense of morals

Thank you for sharing your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. Our Advisors tell us that one of the most compelling elements of this career is the opportunity to serve military personnel and their families in a meaningful way. We always put clients’ interests first when providing investment advice and related financial recommendations. We offer products and services at competitive market rates and are transparent about associated expenses. Regarding whole life insurance, our company does not focus on the sale of any specific type of financial product. Our Advisors offer products and services in the context of financial coaching through a comprehensive financial plan. First Command seeks Advisors who believe in this approach and always put our clients first. In this way, we maintain a culture that reflects the highest ethical standards and best practices of the financial services industry.
