Pros

They will sponsor you to get great certification in the industry. If you have a military connection or enjoy that environment it can be a good fit.

Cons

Long script memorization process. Limited to the military, and eventually all commission.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a Financial Advisor. At First Command, we regard our focus on the military as one of our biggest strengths. We are committed to supporting the lifelong financial security of our Nation’s military families. The mission of the company is incredibly important to our Advisors. They 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. Four out of five First Command Financial Advisors come from the ranks of veterans and military spouses. For these Advisors, the career is about serving those who serve through quality, face-to-face financial coaching. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training period and offering a full array of employee benefits. They are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
