Vantaggi
As a values-based company, the employees of the company carry with them a certain sense of purpose that I haven't found in previous workplaces. This comes across in the internal and external business interactions, the various employee benefits, and newer affinity-based leadership networks. The company respects the family values of its employees, and as such, you won't be hard-pressed to cram vacation or PTO; there's also the option of flexing Fridays. The office feels laid back, cordial, and friendly.
Svantaggi
As the corporate operations are dependent on the success of its reps in the field, I hope to see more collaboration across the various and growing number of business units that carry the Thrivent name, so that hopefully we can provide the field with more specialized and contextualized training and resources to do the best business they can.
