Horrible organization, especially for working parents

Pros

Some of the teammates I had were very nice and we still keep in touch.

Cons

The leadership here is evil and manipulative, especially if you are a working parent. Look on LinkedIn and notice that most of HR here is listed as “open to work.” They are put in awful situations with no power to encourage the proper treatment of people. As an employee, you will be put in manipulated scenarios that intentionally leave you with no autonomy and are then blamed for mistakes made well above your actual pay grade (which is below market value already). Low pay, expensive benefits, narcissistic management (especially the director and VP level), and a CEO who lets it all happen.. steer clear.

Pros

401k, pension, reimbursement for adoption , remote positions. Everyone is so so kind at Thrivent, My coworkers and the people I work with are some of the most genuine people I have worked with in a long time. They care about who you are as a person. I have 100% faith and knowledge that I could call my coworker, my boss, or my boss's boss's boss with an issue and they will want to hear, take my call and work with me to make sure I am heard, feel safe and come to a solution.

Cons

Male dominated industry. They are also growing and working to increase their DEI. With any change come some growing pains but they are listening to employees and actively making adjustments to make Thrivent a better place to work

Pros

Thrivent is deeply rooted in its mission to help people achieve financial clarity and live more generously, and this purpose resonates throughout the workplace. The collaborative environment and supportive leadership have provided ample opportunities for professional growth and creativity. I've particularly enjoyed the ability to work on meaningful projects that align with my values. The culture at Thrivent is warm and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. The company's commitment to its employees is evident in the generous benefits package, continuous learning opportunities, and a flexible work environment that supports personal and professional development.

Cons

Technology and Tools: While the company invests in technology, some of the tools and systems used for marketing initiatives can feel outdated or cumbersome, making it difficult to streamline work efficiently. Bureaucracy and Slow Decision-Making: The organization's size can lead to bureaucratic processes and slower decision-making, which may impact project timelines and innovation.
