      Pros

      Thrivent is a phenomenal organization. If you are a person who likes working around well rounded (level headed, ethical, and experienced) individuals and aligns with philanthropy then Thrivent would be a good route for you. The proprietary products are very competitive. The rate of success for people starting out in the business is supposedly around 40% (I don't know if I believe that though), while the rest of the industry lies somewhere around 10%. Over the couple years that i was in the position I became prideful in the fact that Thrivent aims to be well rounded planners, rather than just insurance agents or stock brokers. Here is my thought: For anyone in sales, imagine telling the story of the current company that you work for to a random person. Is it interesting? My point is, that it is pretty easy to talk to prospects about a not-for-profit organization of Christians that helps people be wise with money and live generously. And then mention that it is a fortune 300 company that has been voted as one of the most ethical companies in the world for consecutive years. In sales, those sound bites can go a long way if they are important to you as an agent.

      Cons

      Just like any financial representative position in the industry, it is tough to make it through the first couple years. Thrivent is like America, divided by geographical sections called regional offices. Regional offices are then divided by zone. There is one Partner per zone, responsible for recruiting and launching new reps. Not every partner is talented in the right way. However, if you land a good Partner and CEL then you are in good hands - assuming that you are right for the job. No salary/re-occuring revenue to start, but you shouldn't be surprised by that if you are looking into the career.

      Pros

      Thrivent's not-for-profit status allows for worthwhile community development projects.

      Cons

      The compensation structure doesn't allow it's financial advisors to sustain anything close to a healthy standard of living.
