Pros

I only know about working in the corporate office, so if you are interesting in a sales career at Thrivent, this review isn't for you. The best thing about Thrivent is that you will almost certainly never have to ever work more than 50 hours in a week. This means that most people choose to spend that extra time on their personal/family life. For me, it's meant that if I put in 60 or 70 hours per week in the office, I can chip away at the outdated. I am able to get 50% more done than my peers and affect change throughout the organization, but no one is forcing me to do so...

Cons

Turnover is actually really low at Thrivent, and this is the opposite from most companies, but it has its own problems. For example, if you want to take on additional responsibilities/compensation in the company, you're either going to have to wait for someone else above you to get promoted or be comfortable with a lateral move to another division every 2-3 years.

Pros

Unlimited income potential through sales commissions. Ability to build your own practice and write your own schedule, but only after you've successfully built a sustainable client base. Strong mission and values of inspiring generosity in our communities. Incredible bonuses and recognition programs.

Cons

Support from leadership is inconsistent. You're on your own. Brand-recognition is still building and is mostly related to life insurance sales. High pressure to sell proprietary life insurance, health insurance and annuities. Many unfulfilled promises by leadership. Hard to respect that. Culture of "what have you done for me lately." Not many career advancement opportunities. Few opportunities for collaboration. Other advisors can be territorial.
