Pros
First Command has been the first organization I have ever worked for, that appears to be a true meritocracy. Opportunity is based upon performance and not who you know. One's abilities and the accomplishments therein govern the path and success one achieves. As the sole business owner, the decisions and management style of others is not part the equation, as it relates to your day-to-day operations. Rather it is you the owner that charts your own course and manner in how you the owner pursues the goals inherent in that course. Owners have access to the best mentors, educational programs, principals. With that support, establishing a business model best suited for me, pursuing that which I deem worthy, and achieving success on my terms, based upon my merit is why I have chosen as a life long career, First Command.
Cons
Many people express some consternation with compensation occurring once a month versus twice a month.
