Pros

Great for new employees and entry level: substantial PTO, career growth opportunities for entry level hires,

Cons

Despite their claim to be member-driven, they are money driven, which goes against the Christian principles they are supposed to represent.

Pros

Benefits about average and they have retirement plan that not as good as they are trying to portrait it.

Cons

Very conservative, passive aggressive, back-stabbing, "Minnesota Ice". Very politically incorrect, play favorites, low wages, incompetent management, a lot of people are slacking on numerous charity events while others have to pick up their work. Very low career growth opportunities unless you are one of the favorites.

Field Management is a Bunch of Lying Snakes!!

Pros

Will make you glad when you find another company that better understands the financial-services industry. You will be happy when you find one, because it isn't Thrivent.

Cons

Field management lies in order to trick you into using your own money to advertise and market your practice. Then after you build it, they take it away from you. Three different managing partners did this to me. The compensation plan is so complicated it is impossible to understand. No other company in the industry has a compensation plan as complicated (and skewed towards the company) as Thrivent's. I was a conference-level producer and they treated me like dirt. Glad to be away from the toxic environment. I'm doing great now that I left this bunch of liars. There are good companies in this industry. Thrivent isn't one of them.
