Pros

Experienced great working relationships with colleagues and clients. Modern facilities, trending toward decent technology.

Cons

Highly political firm (never experienced this level of "the power of a few" in 25 years). If you are a player, you will succeed. If your are not political, and only focused on improving the client experience and keeping clients as truly #1 - this is not the place for you.

Pros

LPL has a good benefit selection; it isn't competitive with the big banks, but it's still a good benefit package. They offer employee appreciation events (ice cream socials, Halloween costume contests).

Cons

They seem to be on a mission to cut costs down to the bone and have been trying to outsource functions company-wide for the last 3 or 4 years.
