Thank you for taking time to share your First Command experience. The mission of the company is incredibly important to our employees and 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. 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 those who serve through quality, face-to-face financial coaching. At First Command, we maintain our strong culture and mission by attracting and retaining talented people. We focus on providing our employees with extensive training and opportunities for professional growth, and we reward them through an attractive compensation and benefits program. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking time to share your experience.

Pros

Very easy for people with families to work here. Very understanding people while also very nice.

Cons

The pay is not good enough compared to the rest of the job market, unless you are willing to sacrifice 3+ years for a good salary.

Pros

1. Military Spouse Friendly 2. Ability to build on my career, even when PCSing often. 3. First Command is a big enough company to make a difference across the military, but a small enough company to still feel like a family. 4. Retirement - we have the ability to build on our own retirement plan - we have a great deferred compensation plan.

Cons

1. Client facing technology is not as good as competitors.
