The onboarding process is pretty smooth until the training starts then the suprises start!

Cons

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, develop leadership skills and grow within the organization. As you note, our Advisors do face some challenges, but they also enjoy many opportunities. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business. They are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. But most importantly, 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.
