Pros

Has a bit of the 'small town' feel - some good folks with good attitudes that allow long term friendships to develop.

Cons

They senior management team is struggling. Since the new CEO was appointed, many managers have been fired (in harsh, unpleasant ways) and replaced with 'newer, cooler, sexier' versions. The problem now is that management doesn't 'match' the company culture or how the company history. This has created a lot of turnover and people turning on each other to survive.

Pros

First Command works with the military officers. They have a niche market in this sense and have good brand awareness. I would recommend this job to someone starting off in the industry.

Cons

A small company with little room to advance to corporate. That being said it is not a bad place to become a successful independent advisor.

Mission gone wrong.

Pros

Free gym and covered parking.

Cons

They don't provide training to employees, they micro manage but with lack of direction or goals, there is a lot of finger pointing and management does not want to take responsibility. 2% to 0% on employee pay raises. Executives have a lot of off site meetings with big budget meals. Depressing atmosphere, lots of people always coughing and sneezing. No career opportunities, long hours, and 1950's culture.
