Started off great...going downhill

Pros

The new building in San Diego is great, nice to have a subsidized cafe, free gym, health clinic is probably the best amenity. Standing desks are awesome, and health benefits are good. But all those shiny things are starting to become very dull.

Cons

Love the open office concept but it doesnt help with collaboration at all. As each month passes I think our group gets more and more silo-ed. When going through the hiring process they try to lure you in with all the *perks* instead of giving you the salary you deserve, and these things aren't worth making less money. Especially since the raises they give are absolutely PATHETIC. It is almost a slap in the face. And don't even think about getting promoted. Long story short, LPL has the potential to be great. They strive to be an employer of choice, but the only choice they are helping me make is the choice I recently made to start looking for a new job - its the only way I will continue to further my career and make more money.

Pros

Nice staff, building, cafeteria Can wear jeans to work. Flexible work schedule depending on department can be nice

Cons

Management is awful. So many AVPs that they just hold meetings all day and don't do any work. Management communication is non existent and they have no sense of how to relate to employees. Management constantly passes the buck and will throw their employees under the bus to save their own skin even though they have no clue of the day to day operations. Training is terrible and non existent. Year end bonuses have become a joke and good luck getting more than a 2% raise even if you have an excellent yearly review.

Pros

location is about the only pro-company events are ok.

Cons

very disappointing experience, expected more from this company. Very dis-organized many employees leaving and many being released. Not sure what is going on.
