Horrible company

Pros

Benefits about average and they have retirement plan that not as good as they are trying to portrait it.

Cons

Very conservative, passive aggressive, back-stabbing, "Minnesota Ice". Very politically incorrect, play favorites, low wages, incompetent management, a lot of people are slacking on numerous charity events while others have to pick up their work. Very low career growth opportunities unless you are one of the favorites.

Pros

Will make you glad when you find another company that better understands the financial-services industry. You will be happy when you find one, because it isn't Thrivent.

Cons

Field management lies in order to trick you into using your own money to advertise and market your practice. Then after you build it, they take it away from you. Three different managing partners did this to me. The compensation plan is so complicated it is impossible to understand. No other company in the industry has a compensation plan as complicated (and skewed towards the company) as Thrivent's. I was a conference-level producer and they treated me like dirt. Glad to be away from the toxic environment. I'm doing great now that I left this bunch of liars. There are good companies in this industry. Thrivent isn't one of them.

IT leadership horror

Pros

The people (co-workers, anyway) are incredibly nice.

Cons

Darkness fell over IT as the poisonous leadership killed all hope. Brett's leadership style pushed decades of excitement and purpose to the side and replaced it with stress and fear.
