Know what you are getting into. - Financial Advisor First Command Financial Services Employee Review

Thank you for taking time to share your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. We seek to attract and retain talented people by providing 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. Our Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. An essential part of this career is advising clients in strategies to manage their unique financial risks. This client-first approach to insurance is key to our commitment to follow the highest ethical standards and best practices of the financial services industry. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
