Pros

It is employee owned, so there are many opportunities to not only invest in the company but as well as having many benefits (Concierge, complimentary breakrooms, etc). The company also is amazing at keeping employees well informed.

Cons

I think that there should be more volunteer opportunities.

Thank you for taking a moment to share your positive review. First Command is owned by employees through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) and we encourage our people to exercise their ownership by providing feedback that will help us create a positive environment for all. A key part of that positive environment is our focus on serving those who serve. Our employees and Advisors 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. We're thrilled to hear about your enthusiasm toward volunteerism and would direct you to visit our Force For Good site on OneNet (our intranet). Once there you will find an array of opportunities on the Force For Good platform where you can donate time, services, and contribute to the causes you care about while positively impacting your local and military communities. We are also embarking on our annual Spirit of Giving campaign in October and would be thrilled if you joined us in our efforts to support the First Command Educational Foundation, United Way of Tarrant County, and many other non-profits!

Pros

This organization is mission-driven by employees who truly care for each other's well being. I am regularly given encouragement & support, opportunities to grow (and the time to do it), a safe space to ask questions, and can show up as my authentic self.

Cons

Positive changes can be slow to happen at times.
