Pros

Good work environment and culture. Flexible hours and great benefits. Networking for career advancemt is easy to accomplish thanks to many effective internal programs. My colleagues care about their roles and about serving our advisors. We have a lot of fun at work and I do feel cared for and appreciated. (I.e.- bringing in lunch for us on peak days, parties, special treats, etc...)

Cons

Raises for Internal promotions are capped and this is a point of frustration for many. While we are improving in this, more positive and encouraging feedback is needed from leaders towards the members of thier team.

Pros

LPL is a financial firm providing a relatively easy entry into financial services, decent benefits, and a fun office culture. Working there was an opportunity to experience the day to day operations of a large back office focused firm. You will learn a lot about how the market works and why it works/doesn't really work.

Cons

Management quality highly variable, pay is not commensurate with equal opportunities in the industry, mobility is difficult. Overall, the experience you get here is highly variable dependent on department. Especially in the San Diego office, people are not exceptionally motivated. Something to be wary of.

Pros

Growing company in a volatile industry.

Cons

Horrible to non-existent raises and benefits are extremely expensive compared to other companies. A yearly salary increase of 28 cents an hour. No work/life balance. Management style is micro-managing and intrusive. Managers are managers only, not leaders.
