Pros

Pay could be better but it's within the range for living expenses in the Charlotte area. Benefits are great though. LPL doesn't give much for raises each year but bonuses offset it. Campus has an on-site gym with trainers and classes through out the day which is awesome for working parents who don't have time to go before or after work. LPL does have fun events for employees throughout the year. Ice Cream and food trucks in the summer. Company wide basketball and trivia tournaments.

Cons

Upper management is usually hired from outside the company and they bring all their friends from previous jobs. Doesn't allow internal employees to be promoted when this happens. Some senior managers give undeserving employees promotions to get better survey scores in return during engagement time.
