Pros

Christian based company, Bible study every Tuesday is paid, and virtual

Cons

New to advisor roles, have someone watching you every punch, but says your building your own business even though there is no way to take your book of business, the base will be year 1 income, management is new on most teams, like a service role or account manager, you sell protection products. If you do well there then you can request to work with investments. Full service brokerage costs (high comparatively), mixed messages on expectations (basics: 40 OB calls each day, 16 client apt's a week, with 2-3 company/team meeting everyday that are manditory) because they're deciding as they go. My direct manager Shannon G, lied, targeted all the women on my team and was predatory, nothing can be done, everything has to be resolved by your direct manager. Nothing is automated is systems, you have to take some sort of action for every single thing. You end up working off the clock for case work and the extras they ask of you.

Pros

Ethical company. Sincere focus on helping people and serving the communities where it does business.

Cons

Thrivent has the most chaotic and overloaded onboarding/training of any company where I've worked. Company expects new reps to hold prospecting appointments, albeit with seasoned field partners, well before grounding reps with adequate product/solution knowledge. Managers and mentors say the new rep training is like "drinking from a firehose," like this is a badge of honor. Instead, it's an affirmation of how unfocused and self-sabotaging the training actually is. Base salary is in effect through the four-month onboarding period, then compensation transitions to 100 percent commission. For reps who are "solo launching" this is far too little time to build an income-sustaining book of business.
