Pros

Benefits and flexibility. I worked for a great team for the first 2 years of my time at LPL, then management changed. If you get in with a great team and managers, LPL is a great place to work.

Cons

New management of dept has no legal or chief compliance officer experience and are severely lacking in subject matter expertise required for their roles. Years of experience, in their opinion, can be taught in 2 months as they hire people who have never worked in a specialized area of compliance. It was the first time in my career that a lawyer or CCO was not my boss.
