Pros

There are no pros to this company and the other reviews are First Command PAYING their advisors to leave them.

Cons

All they can "sell" you from an investment standpoint are Class A high priced mutual funds which come with a massive 5.75% sales charge and over a 2% management fee. Their ENTIRE model is based off of WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE. If you do not sell it, you won't make money. They PUSH it on military that have $400,000 SGLI ALREADY. This policy has a MASSIVE commission for their advisors and is literally ripping money away from our military families. They are being deceived into buying a price insurance policy before paying off DEBT or putting money away in a LOW COST investment that almost ANY other firm can provide.
