Pros

- You have a lot of freedom to work from home, be in the office whenever you would like, can take time off if you ever need it. - They will get you licensed and will train you further. They reimburse many different educational programs through the American College that you can take advantage of immediately. -Pension

Cons

- No Salary - this is more sales than anything else. There is a strong push to sell annuities and life insurance above any other type of products. - There is a lot of talk about helping people but if you do not sell enough life insurance and annuities, there becomes more pressure to sell than help. - Thrivent spends time and resources helping you build your business but focuses greatly on your 'natural market' (friends and family). If you do not have a natural market it will be a tough start. If you do have one, expect to be calling all the people closest to you for business.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
