Pros

Being a financial advisor with Thrivent lets you run your own company and still get a lot of benefits a typical full-time job would include. I am also able to express my Christian identity openly and choose my own work-life balance.

Cons

It is a lot of hard work and not for everyone. Sometimes the higher-ups make decisions that are not in everyone's best interest, but this is unusual.

Diversity is very important to Thrivent through hiring minorities at all levels as well as having an office at the Urban League to be more accessible to everyone in the area.
