Pros

The only pro I can come up with is the amount of PTO I had.

Cons

Thrivent use to be a family friendly Christian organization that valued a work life balance. What did they do? Decided to bring in KC's (Kimberly Clark) management and HR style hierarchy. Ruling with an iron fist, Terry's vision of One Thrivent is a great idea. However, the rebranding removed all Christian symbols and values. These people she hired as leaders, made the work environment unbearable. People were and still are leaving in droves. My entire team left within one year, they didn't backfill positions. They hired people in your job range at a higher salary than what those that were doing the work of two or three people. To have zero experience and expected us to train them. I'm happy I left and everyone that I run in to that I knew has also told me they left. It USE to be a great place to work and a place that people wanted to work at.
