      I worked at Thrivent as a full-time employee from 2006 through 2019.

      Pros

      Great culture, caring employees and leaders, part of the mission is great (i.e., growing communities and donating to important causes).

      Cons

      I've not heard great things since the voluntary and involuntary lay-offs last year (2019) and I voluntarily left. Leadership only wants "yes" people. If you have an opposing opinion, don't you dare share it.

      Pros

      None I can think of at the moment.

      Cons

      So many people have been let go and morale is at an all time low. People don’t communicate with each other as they are afraid of what will happen so they keep to themselves. Unfortunate because it was once a great company.

      Pros

      -Great benefits, generous PTO, pension AND 401k -Long tenure and low turnover. People stick around. -Very big into volunteering and supporting local communities and abroad through Thrivent Builds -Values generosity and giving.

      Cons

      -Very slow to make changes. While taking precautions is great, what isn't great is having your division be in a never-ending reorg while telling employees "new job opportunities will happen" when they haven't and probably never will. -Moving up appears to only happen if you're friends with the right people or have a costly MBA degree which means Thrivent is missing out on it's own talent pool that come from very diverse backgrounds. -Doesn't even closely match up to other Financial Services that are HUGE supporters in the GLBT community such as Ameriprise Financial. Thrivent remains conflicted between its "neutral" position on "controversial issues" (not allowing foundation dollars to match gifts to organizations such as HRC) and it's own internal "Diversity and Inclusion" department. GLBT employees are not controversial. -Some people who work here claim they're working here because "Thrivent is a Christian organization." Thrivent is not a church, it's a not-for-profit fraternal benefit society who's membership is comprised of those who happen to share in the Christian faith.
