Enjoyed my time but hit the ceiling

Business Outlook

Pros

I was at Thrivent a little over 6 years. I enjoyed the challenges and went up the ranks several times. I loved the values, helping communities (through our generosity and through our members) I felt the organization had soul. It’s one of those companies where “everyone is just so nice” Very client centric. I miss it - I’d potentially go back someday

Cons

It’s such a old company with old technology so getting things done often felt like we were duct tapping things together and then we couldn’t get at the data or true goal of the solutions. I left because I was a “high achiever” and told several times I had a bright future and was rewarded as so. I just never received opportunity to move up after much networking/applying etc. I felt it was my time to go elsewhere.
