Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad you have enjoyed enhancing your professional knowledge at First Command. As you note, our Advisors do face some challenges, but they also enjoy many opportunities. You mention the Fast Start training program, which provides intense professional development to prepare new people for success as independent Advisors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training period and offering a full array of employee benefits. Through the program, our 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. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
