Pros

1. Military Spouse Friendly 2. Ability to build on my career, even when PCSing often. 3. First Command is a big enough company to make a difference across the military, but a small enough company to still feel like a family. 4. Retirement - we have the ability to build on our own retirement plan - we have a great deferred compensation plan.

Cons

1. Client facing technology is not as good as competitors.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a First Command District 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 are dedicated to making continuous investments in our processes, systems and technology to enable ongoing business growth and enhance our client experience. We rely on employee surveys and Glassdoor reviews to gain critical insights and continue to improve, so thank you for sharing your feedback.
