Pros

You are your own boss. Freedom to innovate your business to your liking. Great atmosphere to work in. No cap on income. Freedom to spend time with family. Great training. Tremendous support

Cons

It can be tough starting out, but you are given an hourly wage for 3 months and salary for 9 months to get you started. Something a lot of companies won’t do.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. First Command seeks to attract and retain talented people by providing employees and Advisors with opportunities to enhance their professional knowledge and develop leadership skills. As you note, our Advisors do face some challenges in growing their business, but they also enjoy many opportunities. 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. They learn how to 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.
