Very Supportive Team

Pros

I have worked for First Command for about 5 years now and our team is extremely supportive and driven. There is so much flexibility in this career and I love that I can schedule around my family (family is always first) and schedule around furthering my education. First Command offers a very extensive training program and invests in its Advisors by giving them all of the training and tools needed to succeed. I am very proud to be a part of this team and to be able to truly help families (especially Military families) get Squared Away and achieve Financial success.

Cons

Challenging position due to passing licensing requirements, however, very rewarding for the a very driven candidate. definitely a career that an Advisor needs to stick with and not give up on. It is not the right career for someone just looking for a "job" to get by.

not for the long term

Pros

The company offers an on-site gym and lunch vendors.

Cons

Lack of integrity at senior manager levels. Ir'It'a night and day difference between senior managers who've been in the military and those who haven't. Managers with prior military experience understand the importance of integrity and taking care of your people. Non-military folks understand the importance of 'it's all about me' and will throw you under the bus if things go wrong and take credit when things go right.

Pros

It was close to home. That's all.

Cons

Horrible people, robbing people blind, just out to make money for themselves. Taking advantage of military. Treat their employees like their slaves and talk down to them. Very creepy, cult like work conditions.
