Pros

Salary is decent depending on position. Traveling with all expenses paid without issues. Contributions to changes and enhancements. Opportunity to meet different people in various job roles and functions

Cons

There are serious cliques and if you are not part of it you are ostracized and will never move up or be promoted. No real training. You are left to figure it out alone. Have separate processes and procedures for different employees. Also has too many systems to find anything. Changes are made without notification. This company Does not necessarily follow the Finra rules and regulations. Compliance is not important. Most of the managers are not licensed but supervise those that are. They do not follow their own code of conduct and turn a blind eye on injustices depending on who it's against. They are aware of horrible and toxic environment but will banish anyone who brings it to light. This was the worse company to work for.

Pros

High income and you get to travel. A lot.

Cons

Poor management trickles down from the top. High turnover unfair treatment. If they don’t like you then they’ll find a way to fire you regardless if you are performing. There were 3 Heads of HR while I was there.

Pros

Good people on the front lines.

Cons

LPL does NOT value employees. It is almost as if they are now trying to burn you out on purpose. They hire leaders with no people skills, just a bunch of book smart yes men. Applying to this position was a mistake that I regret deeply. It is literal hell. The systems do not work and they make you do 3 different job descriptions at once! I really hate this role.
