Pros

Hard to think of any. Gated parking garage is nice, I spent a little over a year here and made no professional progress whatsoever.

Cons

They make you stay in your role for at least a year before you can even think about moving anywhere else. Places like Robinhood only require 6 months. VERY little opportunities for advancement. Most of the senior leadership is within a few years of retirement and clearly does not want to change how they've been running things for the past 20 years. They're offering a banking product that doesnt even have a fully functional app. Call Volumes and dealing with customers who aren't even affiliated with the company antiquated systems and working conditions poor interdepartmental communication

Pros

After retiring from the Army, I was nervous that I would be unable to find the same culture and feel as the Military. First Command has similar values, culture, and work ethic. I am extremely proud to work for First Command.

Cons

As a Financial Advisor, you are a small business owner. This comes with unlimited opportunities, but also the opportunity to fail!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences as a First Command Financial Advisor. The mission of the company is incredibly important to our 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. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. 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.
