Thank you for taking time to share some of the benefits of a career as a First Command Financial Advisor. We seek to attract and retain talented people by providing employees and Advisors with opportunities to enhance their professional knowledge, develop leadership skills and grow within the organization. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Some of the benefits of that program include paying new Advisors during the training and licensing 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. At First Command, we maintain an open-door policy and encourage employees and Advisors to communicate challenges with their leadership. We rely on employee surveys and Glassdoor reviews to gain critical insights and continue to improve, so thank you for your feedback.

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.
