Pros

LPL is a growth company among their peer group. They have experience 3 times growth over the last 3 years and should continue to grow following the 2009 recession. LPL as a firm is positioned to grow their independent model and RIA model by focusing their efforts on the recruitment of this space in 2009 and beyond.

Cons

With the expansive growth over the last few years LPL has experienced the normal output from Mergers and Aquisitions. The rapid growth has required fast paced hiring practices in the 2007 and 2008 timeframes which has resulted in low employe tenure and training issues.

Pros

LPL Financial offers a flexible hybrid work model, which is one of the better aspects of the company. Managers are generally not overly strict about specific in-office days, giving employees some flexibility in managing their schedules.

Cons

Work-life balance is a major challenge. Weekend release work is common, often averaging two weekends per month, yet there is no overtime compensation. Employees are essentially expected to work a full workweek plus weekends when needed, which has contributed to high turnover on some teams. The culture can also feel harsh and impersonal. Leadership rarely expresses appreciation or recognition for employee contributions, which negatively impacts morale. Some managers come across as cold or overly task-focused, creating an environment where employees feel valued only for output rather than as people. There also appears to be a lack of trust between employees and leadership. Many teammates do not seem confident that leadership understands or genuinely addresses their concerns. Overall, morale feels low, and recognition for strong performance appears limited.
