LPL Financial is not employee friendly

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

Competitive compensation, decent benefits, really nice facilities (new building, gym, cafeteria). A lot going on, so fairly good opportunity to expand one's role if you are proactive.

Cons

A culture that values speed to a fault and then is surprised when errors occur, endless iterations of presentations, etc., top management that thinks they know everything, which can make it tough to add value if you are sharp (this would at least be a good learning experience if they actually did know everything, but they don't)
