Pros
Great organization made up of people who believe we can change the world for the better. Opportunities to truly be generous to others baked in to the DNA of the organization, along with a healthy dose of caring when an employee suffers a hardship. The values of the organization are strong and are shared by many employees across the organization.
Cons
Many employees have worked their whole career at Thrivent, and tend to be too comfortable. They are not willing to work at a faster pace, grow their skills, take risk or get out of the way of others who should advance to new opportunities. While the organization has strong values, it's unfortunate that there is a culture where people support you to your face, and then turn around and sabotage your work and your reputation behind your back. Compensation is generally below market.
