Thank you for taking time to share your experience. 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. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide quality, face-to-face financial coaching. They learn how to coach our clients to become financially disciplined and confident in their pursuit of financial security. Regarding the cost of operation, it’s important to note that office bills and other expenses are part of the financial responsibilities that come with being an independent contractor. Instead of receiving a salary and benefits, our Advisors earn competitive commissions and bonuses. And from that money they pay their business expenses. Throughout their careers, we equip our Advisors with tools for success, including ongoing investments in technology, marketing resources and continued leadership development. 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. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
