First Command Financial Services reviews

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. At First Command, we maintain our strong culture and mission by attracting and retaining talented people. We focus on providing our employees with opportunities for professional growth, and we reward them through an attractive compensation and benefits program. We offer competitive pay determined by third-party studies of employers in our market area, which is supplemented with a generous benefits package. In addition, as an employee-owned company, First Command offers an Employee Stock Ownership Program to qualified employees. This valuable retirement benefit is funded entirely by company contributions. We're excited about your future with us and would point you to several resources available at First Command that can support your growth. First, we have a long-standing policy of promoting from within. Employees who improve their skills and demonstrate a desire for career growth have the opportunity to advance. We regularly post non-exempt and most exempt level job openings to facilitate this process and hope you'll consider the ones relevant to you. We also encourage employees to develop their expertise in industry-related areas. If your job requires certification, we will assist you in obtaining an appropriate company-approved professional certification. Finally, we believe in furthering education to enhance current skills and improve future potential. Eligible employees can receive tuition assistance for courses approved by the company through our tuition reimbursement program. We hope you'll take advantage of these opportunities. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and will be sharing your feedback with leadership.

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.
