Pros

Good people on my team. Nice building in San Diego.

Cons

Victor Fetter (CTO) was hired and he immediately outsourced 75% of the IT services. I understand business is business, but LPL made us train our replacements! Not cool. They gave us the option: "You train them, or you're fired". Oh, thanks. The pay increases were a joke. Health benefits were expensive. They don't offer eating utensils, cups, etc.. All in all, things were MUCH better before LPL went public and when Chris Feeney was the CTO. Victor Fetter was smiling and laughing as he announced to 200+ people that they were losing their jobs.

Pros

Pay if you come in from the outside. Flexible work life balance. Very good mix of benefits. Opportunities to volunteer time off with Pay.

Cons

Lack of common sense, Layoffs. Constant unending change and shuffling of organizations with poor leadership to pick a direction and stick it out. HR policies tie the hands of managers to be effective. Caps to compensation. Promotions without pay raises.

Pros

LPL's business model is unique, favoring independent financial advice over proprietary products and services. The pay is competitive for the industry and location.

Cons

LPL suffers from outdated management practices, frequent regulatory violations, and plummeting advisor satisfaction. Overall vision and strategy is sound but the company falls flat on execution.
