Pros

Upper management has more recently started focusing more on employee satisfaction. We have a brand new tower that is completely "green". Additionally, they have an onsite gym, cafeteria and game room. They also have good medical, dental and life insurance benefits and provide 2 days a year for volunteer time off.

Cons

Outsourcing has become more prevalent. There is a lack of communication within the management team and across various groups which leads to delayed decisions.

Pros

Benefits are good , Decent pay.

Cons

Mid level management lack technical expertise. You really have to be part of "THE JERK CLUB" to sustain. If you can grin and bear managers who are focused on everything but "VISION".

NOT a great place to work

Pros

I enjoy working with my peers and LPL pays for my certifications/licenses.

Cons

I agree with all of the "Cons" mentioned in prior postings; even those dated over a year. I am skeptical of the "We LOVE LPL!" type messages. I work here and do not see what they see. Nothing has changed except LPL now has very expensive executives. Also, look at the number of job postings - Don't be fooled by anyone saying they are "expanding the department". No, the reason is people are leaving, being replaced by offshore resources or are moving the position to another location.
