Ventajas

At First Command, the culture is different from any other financial firm. This industry can be aggressive, but advisors work together to help each other succeed because they genuinely care. This company values family first, and it is seen from leadership on down. I am grateful I can work for a company where I can leave work on a whim for a sick child or take my family on a vacation after a hard year's work. We do lots of family friendly events, so our kids all know each other as well. The training this company gives advisors is also wonderful- there are so many resources and experts to reach out to when an advisor has questions on something they might not have expertise in.

Desventajas

Much of the compensation is deferred, so the first few years of work can be a struggle for a new advisor financially. Especially if it is the only income for that family. Much of the day-to-day training for new advisors falls on the district level, so the training received can vary across the company.

Thank you for sharing some of the benefits of a career with First Command, including scheduling flexibility and extensive training. We are committed to creating and sustaining a culture that inspires our employees and Advisors and makes them feel appreciated, supported and part of the First Command family. Our Advisors go through a structured and extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Through the program, Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide quality, face-to-face financial coaching. They learn how to coach our clients to become financially disciplined and confident in their pursuit of financial security. Advisors are offered a full array of employee benefits and are salaried during the training period. Our Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and thank you for taking time to share your experience.

Ventajas

* 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.

Desventajas

* Decision-making can be slower than in less regulated industries. Although necessary, the combination of compliance, legal review, governance, etc. can make things feel like the move slow for someone accustomed to nimble decision making. * Modernization requires patience and employees have to manage expectations of timeline on some of the corporate improvements.
