Pros

Great organization made up of people who believe we can change the world for the better. Opportunities to truly be generous to others baked in to the DNA of the organization, along with a healthy dose of caring when an employee suffers a hardship. The values of the organization are strong and are shared by many employees across the organization.

Cons

Many employees have worked their whole career at Thrivent, and tend to be too comfortable. They are not willing to work at a faster pace, grow their skills, take risk or get out of the way of others who should advance to new opportunities. While the organization has strong values, it's unfortunate that there is a culture where people support you to your face, and then turn around and sabotage your work and your reputation behind your back. Compensation is generally below market.

Pros

Faith based fraternal benefit society that recently expanded its market from servicing Lutherans to the broader Christian marketplace. Good employee benefits. Excellent in terms of financial strength to be there in the future. Great protection products. As a company has great fraternal benefits for their benefit members. Overall the financial representatives have a caring attitude in servicing their clients. They are well versed in their financial knowledge. Company rated nationally as one of the most ethical.

Cons

Field management system is flawed. Too many middle managers. Very difficult process for inexperienced representatives to get started in the financial services business. Need a fast start and a large natural market in order to survive the first 3 years. Recently the compensation structure constantly changes and there is a revolving door of new agents (as with most insurance companies). Does not lend itself to confidence on the part of the consumer who has a new representative every 2 years.
