Pros

ESOP Good people can be found Gym

Cons

Pay is below market competition. Require vaccine or weekly testing. They don’t listen to their home office employees and when concerns are made their response every time is “based off market research we have proven we don’t care”. They revere advisors as gods and pay them ridiculous amounts while the home office support workers make pennies in comparison. Unless you are executive or a high earning advisor they look down on you as if you are beneath them and don’t matter. Talented people are leaving in droves for better pay but they still don’t listen. Don’t worry they will have market research to combat this review!

Thank you for taking time to share your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. We seek to attract and retain talented people by providing Advisors with opportunities to enhance their professional knowledge and develop leadership skills. One of our most valuable offerings is the Fast Start program, which provides intense professional development to prepare new people for success as independent Advisors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training 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 quality, face-to-face financial coaching. Our Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. An essential part of this career is advising clients in strategies to manage their unique financial risks. This client-first approach to insurance is key to our commitment to follow the highest ethical standards and best practices of the financial services industry. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
