      Pros

      Great teams and people that work the organization. They truly do believe in doing the right thing and most everyone there lives and works this in their daily lives. You will never find a more helpful and caring group of people anywhere.

      Cons

      Everything seems to be centered around cost savings and "being wise with members money". While that is a great value to have in an organization, it seems it comes at a cost: Quality staff, needed technologies, and the over-dependance on contractors make for a frustrating challenge for any leader. There also still seems to be some bitterness/rivalry between the Minneapolis and Appleton staff that can make for a toxic work environment at times.

      A Great Place to Work for 5-10 Years, But Things Move Slowly

      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 For me, it's meant that if I put in 60 or 70 hours per week in the office, I can chip away at the outdated.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

      Freedom, unlimited salary potential, mostly very kind people. Good training at the start. Very ethical company. Strong product base and good products.

      Cons

      Difficult to succeed if you are not very active in a large church and very religious and know many people who value faith based companies. Difficult industry in the best of circumstances. Not much personal support after hire.
