Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are committed to creating and sustaining a culture that inspires our employees and makes them feel appreciated and part of the First Command family. Encouraging feedback and constructive criticism is part of that commitment. Your comment on compensation is an important one. We focus on providing our employees with extensive training and opportunities for professional growth, and we reward them through an attractive compensation and benefits program. We offer competitive pay determined by third-party studies of employers in our market area, which is supplemented with a generous benefits package. In addition, as an employee-owned company, First Command offers an Employee Stock Ownership Program to qualified employees. This valuable retirement benefit is funded entirely by company contributions. Additionally, our flexible, hybrid work environment reflects a meaningful balance of in-office experiences with work that can be done virtually. We know face-to-face interactions allow us to develop deeper relationships, pursue greater creativity and innovation, and are critical to maintaining our strong culture. At First Command, we recognize and appreciate the value of a diverse workforce, and we foster an inclusive environment where feedback is encouraged. Thank you for taking time to share yours. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

You get to help people - especially military and veterans. You are your own boss - make your own hours and never miss an important event in the lives of your family and friends. You do not require a specific degree. Culture and values are exactly what I want to be a part of.

Cons

You have to get licensed first - this can take 3-5 months, but it is an important part of your education.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Financial Advisor. Many of our 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. You make a great point about the importance of training. One of our most valuable offerings is the Fast Start program, which provides intense professional development to prepare new people to serve our clients as independent Advisors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training and licensing 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 face-to-face financial coaching. Through this hard work and dedication, 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 sharing your positive experience.
