Thank you for sharing some of the benefits of working at First Command. We are committed to attracting and retaining talented people. Employees in our Home Office in Fort Worth, Texas, enjoy an attractive compensation package. Local Advisors set the pay and benefits for their office managers and other support staff professionals in our local offices. In all cases the goal is to attract the best people and reward them for committed service. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.

Thank you for sharing some of the pros of a career as a First Command Financial Advisor. As you note, one of our most valuable offerings is our training program. We provide intense professional development to prepare new people for success. Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients, and provide quality, face-to-face coaching. Our most successful 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. 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 military families by helping them pursue their financial objectives and goals. The result is a culture that reflects the highest ethical standards and best practices of the financial services industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope you’ve experienced the added resources provided to our Advisors to enable ongoing business growth and continued servicing of existing clients. We quickly enabled digital engagement tools, and we are encouraging our Advisors to reach out to their leadership team for marketing ideas and support. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your experiences.
