Pros

I was at Thrivent a little over 6 years. I enjoyed the challenges and went up the ranks several times. I loved the values, helping communities (through our generosity and through our members) I felt the organization had soul. It’s one of those companies where “everyone is just so nice” Very client centric. I miss it - I’d potentially go back someday

Cons

It’s such a old company with old technology so getting things done often felt like we were duct tapping things together and then we couldn’t get at the data or true goal of the solutions. I left because I was a “high achiever” and told several times I had a bright future and was rewarded as so. I just never received opportunity to move up after much networking/applying etc. I felt it was my time to go elsewhere.

Pros

- Excellent culture and people - Work life balance is better than any place I've ever worked; people work hard but support each other - Several fully remote opportunities - Competitive salary - Fantastic benefits: Still have a pension, generous 401(k) match, decent health benefits, PTO and a handful of paid holidays - Annual Incentive Plan is a huge draw

Cons

- Annual review and AIP weighting process is imperfect - You can "Meet expectations" but still earn less than your full AIP percentage because someone else in your department is a top performer - Frequent reorgs/restructures leave sense of unease; leadership announcements provide no concrete explanations and are very boilerplate - Rising up individual contributor job ladder is straight-forward but eventually most leadership positions are external and friends of other leaders ...
