Pros

Generous PTO, in-house cafeteria in the Appleton office, most colleagues are very nice people

Cons

HR shows you wide-open workplaces; in reality, you'll be in a cubicle. Some great managers but also some truly awful ones. A very conservative company -- claims to be tolerant of diversity but it is in name only. A lot of your colleagues will be people who are now in their 50s and 60s who have had the same job since the day they graduated high school. Don't expect a raise beyond 2% in a given year. Brown-nosing goes a long way here, as does bible-thumping.

Pros

Thrivent helped me give to my Charities and offered marketing dollars while starting out. Nice local leadership.

Cons

They push you to split deals with others reps, "Joint Field Work." I was pushed to split business on prospects I brought to the table myself which led to me making a lot of money (over $30,000) for someone else that wasn't reciprocated. Also encouraged to poach your church by offering programs under false pretenses. I was discouraged from getting my series 7 which is the best way to build a long term career with Thrivent as you don't get renewals on insurance products. Definitely do your research.
