Pros

I liked working at First Command because you get to work solely with military members. There is also incentives that you can receive to add to your commissions to make your income a bit more stable

Cons

During my employment, I had a $1,700 office bill I had to pay each month, and also a $300 payment that paid for something at the home office (I don’t even know what it was for). You also only get about 4 months on salary so you have 4 months to build your BOB and then you’re fully on commissions.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. Many of our Financial Advisors tell us one of the most compelling elements of this career is the opportunity to serve military personnel and their families in a meaningful way. One of our most valuable offerings is the Fast Start program, which provides intense professional development to prepare new people to act as independent Advisors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training period and offering a full array of employee benefits. Through the program, our Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide face-to-face financial coaching. As you mentioned, our Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. From that money they pay their business expenses, including office bills. The rewards of hard work and dedication are a satisfying career, a company that fully supports you, and the opportunity to help those who serve in their pursuit of lifelong financial security. We appreciate your feedback and will be sharing your comments with leadership.
