Pros

First Command is a positive influence in the industry and the people here truly care about their Advisors, Employees and most of all, their Customers. Here you have the ability to help people in a meaningful way in the area that causes most people significant stress - finances. Your compensation is based on performance rather than rank or seniority. Their training program is comprehensive and free; they pay for all licensing and certification and provide a base salary plus production-based bonuses during your first year while your commissions build.

Cons

It's a challenging career because people are too caught up in today to care about their future. It's easy to get frustrated and discouraged from the cancellations and no-shows. This is more of a calling than a career. You have to honestly care enough about people to pursue them in their own best interest.

Flexible work schedule, friendly work environment, technology for network systems always improving.

Cons

Considered contract workers to Advisors, no set salaries, no benefits, lack of training at the Branch level on new products, little to no opportunity in the field for advancement other than licensing.
