Thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a First Command Financial Advisor. We are committed to creating and sustaining a culture of appreciation and support that inspires our entire team. As you note, the Advisor role can be challenging. Our Advisors who remain dedicated to serving others also find this career rewarding. Being a member of the First Command team comes with many opportunities. Our Advisors go through an extensive training program designed to equip them to succeed as independent contractors. Through the program, Advisors learn how to build and grow their own business, acquire 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. Advisors enjoy salary compensation during the training period. Our Advisors are eligible to earn a strong income through competitive industry commissions on sales of financial products, plus additional annual and deferred compensation. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
