Pros

Thrivent is full of committed employees that honor the business' mission. No drama, people are very polite and accommodating. Very committed customer base. A fraternal brotherhood, it is keenly aware of the audience it caters to.

Cons

Company is overly solied and split between two campus in Minneapolis and Appleton, Wis. A majority of the staff are legacy employees who have been there 10, 20 or 30 years, which inhibits any outside perspective. Very slow moving to embrace new strategies, technology. Feels stuck in the 2000s.

Pros

The environment ranges from onsite, hybrid, to remote. The staff you work with can be from anywhere in the U.S. ranging in different experiences. Depending on your position there is opening to move around or up. Benefits are good and the facilities are very nice. The Corporate building in Minneapolis, MN has an lots of art and a workout room in the building.

Cons

As with any company personalities can clash and differences happen. When they decide your position is no longer needed there is no warning, they just pull you into a meeting and tell you you're done.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
