Administrative Assistant

"Training started with your own notes and learn as you go. There were so many different processes that training for a new employee specific to the AA position was lacking. One person would teach you the structure which was so varied and expectations were super high. If the OM did not like your personality you won’t make it. You will need that person by your side. So if you were taught as a gentle personality and don’t interrupt you will not make it in the Fairfax office. Other side is most folks there are great to work around and it’s a busy and fun loud office."

"I have worked with the company for 3 years and believe everything that was told to me about the job has been true. It has unlimited earning potential with the upside of helping service members and their families with their personal finances. I really enjoy working with the people in the office and enjoy getting to know all my clients. They are like family to me."

"I worked for First Command for almost 5 years. The company has a great mission...to help military clients succeed financially. The culture overall is good but declined in my group after a management change. I would recommend the company in general but not in my former group."

"First Command is a military company for military people, both clients and employees. Very little training is provided and you are let loose on the world with no direction or help. First year goals are all based upon selling insurance which should have been my first clue as to what this company really is: a glorified insurance company. They have a wonderful managed funds program but the payouts are so insanely low, you'll never make a living off of your AUM. You need to be constantly selling whole life insurance or your time with First Command will be short-lived."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There's a serious lack of leadership in my management branch. The management style of our VP is like a toddler who sees something shiny. My direct manager has zero power to make decisions. We're all left to drift wistfully with the lack of direction from our VP."
