Pros

Mission and vision align perfectly with military community. Great for military spouses (I'm one and love every second). Rewarding both from a point of helping others and from compensation. Career that will move with the military. You are your own business owner, so you make your own schedule, and the sky is the limit. Very focused on the military and active-duty families and retirees, and that is the why and it just fits right with me as a military spouse.

Cons

Slow to change when needed sometimes. Hang onto people they should send into retirement for too long. They are moving the right direction, but they need more focus on becoming more diverse.

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. Four out of five First Command Financial Advisors come from the ranks of veterans and military spouses. We value the career contributions of military spouses, whose understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with life in the military makes them ideal for the role of financial coach. We offer portable, rewarding positions that allow military spouses to build careers that fit into their lives. We provide industry-leading training, mentoring, professional development and compensation. It’s why we’ve been recognized as a Military Friendly® Spouse Employer for five years in a row. At First Command, we recognize and appreciate the value of a diverse workforce, and we foster an inclusive environment where feedback is encouraged. Thank you again for taking the time to share your positive experience.
