      Pros

      Outstanding support of leadership and co-workers. Best family friendly organization I've ever worked for.

      Cons

      Company seeking hard to be compliant with new DOL guidelines which has changed compensation model drastically. Company working hard to inform FR's of changes, but DOL changes will restrict income. CEL position has constant change and significant pressure to increase membership through motivation of FR's.

      Great Culture and Work-Life Balance at Corporate

      Pros

      As a values-based company, the employees of the company carry with them a certain sense of purpose that I haven't found in previous workplaces. This comes across in the internal and external business interactions, the various employee benefits, and newer affinity-based leadership networks. The company respects the family values of its employees, and as such, you won't be hard-pressed to cram vacation or PTO; there's also the option of flexing Fridays. The office feels laid back, cordial, and friendly.

      Cons

      As the corporate operations are dependent on the success of its reps in the field, I hope to see more collaboration across the various and growing number of business units that carry the Thrivent name, so that hopefully we can provide the field with more specialized and contextualized training and resources to do the best business they can.

      Pros

      Great company culture.The CEO is a truly generous person, and many of the senior executives are admirable as well. There is a ton of potential to build a long, and very profitable career simply helping people put together plans.

      Cons

      The first few years are absolutely as hard as you would think. No base salary, so if you aren't filling up the lobby, you aren't getting a paycheck. Underwriting guidelines are pretty stringent, so we can offer decent prices, but many clients get declined or rated premiums. You must have at least 250 people you feel absolutely comfortable calling and have some business potential as clients. The retention rates that I was told when I started don't appear to be accurate. Some people are sticking around, but they aren't succeeding by any means, and will likely be gone withing a year or two.
