Some Good, Some Bad

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

I love the work environment/people I work with. Clients are generally good and easy to talk to. Option to work from home. You are your own boss.

Cons

Hard to start out, depending on the market you start in. No choice in salary or commissions. It's straight commission. No lenience on your situation. Either hit the "quota" or you are gone. Mandatory "Fun Days" that you have to pay out of pocket for.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. One of our most valuable offerings is the Fast Start 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. The rewards of hard work and dedication are a satisfying career, a company that fully supports you, and the opportunity to help those who serve in their pursuit of lifelong financial security. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
