      Pros

      Thrivent was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend working here to anyone. Amazing group of professionals where you can tell their hearts are in the right place.

      Cons

      Really don't have any. It wasn't a structured program because I was just finished with my freshman year of college and reached out to them.

      An Endless Game of "Who do you Know" in a Glorified Pyramid Scheme

      Financial representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Flexible schedule. - Ability to create your own income (although commissions are below industry average). - Above average reimbursement program for marketing costs. - Not-for-profit company that gives a lot back.

      Cons

      - Corporate leaders are out of touch and rarely helpful, but push advisors to attend corporate meetings. - Extremely high turnover rate can be de-motivating. - All advisors are pushed to sell annuities and life insurance over any other financial planning tool. - Compensation is unethically higher on Insurance products. - You will feel like you are pedaling annuities. - Little to no recognition for brokerage and investment business. - Production minimums on Life, Health, and Annuity products. - No leads are given to you, you will be calling your friends and family and networking. - Marketing techniques can be degrading and demotivating. - Do not take this job if you are looking to be a financial planner. You will market yourself 80% of the time and create plans 20% of the time. You will feel that your plans must include variable annuities or life insurance. You will find yourself feeling pressured to sell annuities for the wrong reasons.

      I will retire with Thrivent!

      Pros

      I have been involved with Thrivent for many years through my parents and recently became employed as a Financial Representative in Los Angles. The on-boarding process is intense, but there is great support from Partners, staff and colleagues. I am as successful as my own drive allows me to be while setting my own flexible schedule. This position has opened up many opportunities to become involved in my community through Habitat LA and Actions Teams. Thrivent has launched new products and training that are relevant to the needs of the changing economic environment, they are very forward-thinking. They are in line with my values and I am blessed to work with an amazing team.

      Cons

      The only down-side is that I am very competitive. I like to hear my name on the weekly Best Practices Financial Rep call and it can be tough to grow your client base, especially if you don't have an established natural market. However, Thrivent has an incredible marketing team and resources, plus a Community Engagement team that offers suggestions and support.
