First Command Financial Services reviews about "training"

I was given this opportunity to work in the company without having any prior knowledge of the industry. I have been given the opportunity to work in office and remotely. I have worked as a W-2 employee and as a freelance admin. During both opportunities, I have been given on-the-job training, bonuses, pay raises, incentives and room to progress in training and certifications. There is the this unique culture within the company that understands my lifestyle as a military spouse which has allowed me to balance my work and home life. Because of the connections I made in the company, I have been able to work in multiple districts, divisions and amongst multiple advisor teams.

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.

The company offers a flexible hybrid schedule with three days in the office and two days remote. Benefits are excellent, schedules are balanced, and the work environment is supportive. Management encourages professional growth and provides training opportunities, while also offering strong job security.

The training and support from onboarding is great.

Working at the Colonial Heights office of First Command has been a life-changing experience. From day one, I’ve felt part of a mission that truly matters—helping military families and federal employees take control of their financial future. The leadership is supportive, transparent, and genuinely invested in your growth. You're not just a number here—you’re part of a tight-knit team that celebrates wins, learns from challenges, and always has your back. The training and mentorship are top-notch, and the flexibility allows you to balance your career with your personal goals. There’s a real emphasis on integrity, client-first values, and doing what’s right—not just what’s profitable. If you're looking for a meaningful career that combines service, strategy, and success, this is the place.

* Having a mission-driven company with a meaningful customer group gives a sense of purpose. * The Employee Stock Option Program (ESOP) gives a common goal throughout the company, which cuts back on the corporate politics I've encountered at other companies. * Leadership is investing in modernization, so being able to help update mature processes leaves an opportunity to make an impact. * Company culture generally values personal improvement, offering investments in personal training and goals that feel supportive of one's career.

It's not often that you get to work for a company that supports their employees and treats them less like widgets and more like family, but that is what I found at First Command. I spent over 20 years working harder and harder for other financial service companies and was asked to do more and appreciated less each passing year. I've now been at First Command for over 10 years and wish I could have been here so much longer. The fact that we get to serve the military community, especially when they most need us, makes it even more rewarding. Great benefits and recognition programs. Strong ESOP with top notch balance sheet management. Loyal and deserving clients. Overall good pay. Communicative leadership. Investment in professional growth and in growing technology. Training is strong and getting better. Worthwhile mission. Potential to grow as a company/employee is ready to explode right now.

This company really cares about its employees. Lots of events for employees, ERG groups, training opportunities.
