Pros

For 32 Years as a financial advisor at First Command I have enjoyed being a part of dynamic ever evolving company. Our Founder, Carol Payne, envisioned helping others in the Military Community achieve financial success for themselves over a long period of time. Using time proven methods to coach our clients reach financial success it has been a rewarding career, and I have made a lot of friends along the way. It has given me a great sense of self-satisfaction to see my clients reach their financial success.

Cons

There are many ups and downs in this career and First Command has been there for me to help with those down times. There have been growing pains, but you will find growing pains in any company.
