Cons
Owning your own business, while rewarding, requires a certain level of maturity and dedication. If that is for you, it is more than worthwhile.

Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging review. We’re honored to have long-standing team members like you who are deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of the military families we serve. Your reflections on the supportive, purpose-driven culture here reinforce the values we strive to uphold daily.
We appreciate your insights about the rewarding nature of our business model and the dedication it requires. Thank you also for your kind words to our leadership. Your experience and perspective mean a great deal, and we remain committed to supporting and empowering our team members.
It is like someone took the best parts of military service (camaraderie, focus on mission, integrity, culture) and combined them with a mission (Coaching Those Who Serve in Their Pursuit of Financial Security) to create an awesome company to work for! You will be hard pressed to find an organization filled with so many like minded and selfless individuals!
Cons
From my perspective it is hard to find a con, however, our Financial Advisors are Independent Contractors and that business model is not for everyone. However, if it is for you, the results are amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience 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. Through our extensive training program, our Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide quality, face-to-face financial coaching. The rewards of hard work and dedication are a satisfying career, a company that fully supports you, and the opportunity to help those who serve in their pursuit of lifelong financial security. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
