Vantaggi
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.
Svantaggi
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.
