First Command named a Military Times Best for Vets Employer

May 13, 2019

FORT WORTH, Texas – First Command Financial Services, Inc. announced today that it has been named a 2019 Best for Vets Employer by Military Times.

The annual rankings are the result of a meticulous, months-long process. Military Times invites companies to fill out its survey, tests to ensure the accuracy of responses and carefully evaluates survey data. The standards are objective, rigorous, and editorially independent. As a result, transitioning service members recognize them as a trusted source of veteran job rankings and have come to rely on Best for Vets Employers to aid their transition to civilian life.

“We are honored to be recognized by Military Times for our commitment to recruit veterans and military spouses,” said Scott Spiker, chairman/CEO of First Command. “Our military-focused hiring strategy dates to the company’s founding more than 60 years ago. We’re always looking for self-motivated, mission-driven people who have lived the military lifestyle. Veterans and military spouses naturally understand the short- and long-term financial needs of those who serve. They are uniquely suited to provide face-to-face financial coaching to our clients in their pursuit of financial security.”

First Command boasts roughly 500 financial advisors, with four out of five coming from the ranks of veterans and military spouses. They serve in more than 170 offices worldwide. Most of these offices are located near major military installations.

“The companies on the Military Times Best for Vets list earned their rankings through determined efforts to recruit and support service members, veterans and military families,” said George Altman, the Military Times editor in charge of the rankings. “These efforts deserve recognition from the country and should get the attention of veterans looking for a new career.”
