Pros

General exposure to HR and how the corporate world works. Fantastic technology utilizing Workday.

Cons

Employees are not loyal because companies are not loyal. Companies will get rid of you at the first moment they can save money, or the moment that you don’t act like a slave to their every whim, they never promote anyone or give salary increases. The only way to move up the ladder now is to change companies. It’s a market response to the new corporate’s extremely opportunistic behavior.

Pros

There are a lot of good people that work at LPL. The relationships that I have been able to gain by working at LPL I will be able to take with me forever.

Cons

Executive management doesn't have a clear vision as to which direction the company is heading. Executive management also is not transparent to it's employees about what direction they are planning on taking the company although they pretend to be. They'll tell you on Monday that there will be no more layoffs and on Friday there will be a round of layoffs. The company is also notoriously cheap.

Pros

In my first few years I had a great manager and had training, autonomy, and fair pay. If you have a good manager he will allow additional training, licensing, industry events attendance, and variety of duties

Cons

If your AVP or manager changes and you are not a personal friend or professional rear kisser, TRANSFER as quickly as possible or you will be isolated and then harassed until you resign or stressed to the point of illness.
