Avantages

As a financial advisor, I love being in a position to put people on the path to financial success. I literally change people's lives. First Command is a great company that knows what it does and keeps its focus on the mission. The company is focused on doing the most that it can to make sure everyone has what we need to be successful. Work conditions depend on where you live, but you have the ability to shape your situation.

Inconvénients

No job is perfect; no company is perfect. The same is true for First Command. This is also not a 9 to 5 career. If you want a 9 to 5, keep it moving. The hours are long. The work is fulfilling, but there is a LOT to learn. It's not something that you can pick up overnight.

Thank you for sharing 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. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors and earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions. Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, serve new clients and provide quality, face-to-face financial coaching. Through this hard work and dedication, they coach our clients to become financially disciplined and confident in their pursuit of financial security. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Avantages

* 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.

Inconvénients

* 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.
