Pros

10 years at First Command and I still love it! I have flexibility in my schedule. Plenty of time with family. Training is always provided and available if I want more. I am grateful I get to work with mostly military clients and support their pursuit of financial freedom by providing the highest level of service each day. Even though I have routine to my job, no day is ever the same, so I am never bored. I have learned a lot about finance while working in my role which has personally benefited me. My Advisor is very supportive and a pleasure to work alongside.

Cons

My specific office is very small, so I do not have many coworkers.

Pros

Offer 2 flexible "holiday" days on top of regular ones, offer hybrid work for some depts allowing to work some days at home, esop program is nice, Christmas bonus is a big plus, love on campus lunch companies

Cons

Waaaay too much mandatory overtime, management is horrible (at least in my dept) & no way to hold the accountable, systems/programs are constantly going down where we can't even do our job, a ridiculous amount of completely unnecessary meetings, pay isn't great, they treat tenured employees terribly and new hires with no experience get paid more, resources are severely lacking
