Easy environment to sell since you are working within Lutheran churches and communities. The people you talk to are already usually aware of what you do, who you are with, and have probably had friends and family who were former clients.
Cons
Terrible benefits for assistant advisors and office staff. I worked forty hours a week and wasn't eligible for any form of health, dental, 401k etc. since I wasn't in a direct sales role.

Office professionals and associate advisors do not work for / are not employed by Thrivent Financial. They are the staff of and are employed by the financial representatives who have their own independent business operations. The compensation and benefits packages offered by each financial representative can and will vary, and should be discussed at the time you are considering / accepting the position.
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.
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.
