Low morale. Don't work here if you plan to get securities licensed!

Pros

* Better than unemployment * Paycheck * Colleges

Cons

Middle management barely knows the business and lack comprehensive knowledge of operation day to day practice. Also, some managers barely know how to construct a complete sentence. Perhaps, they should enroll in the LPL University. The company verbally give recognition but no monetary compensation for delivering best practice for efficiencies. The singular word used most often at LPL is transparency. Please don't ever mention to advisors that offshore processors are in India! We can't be that transparent. Don't expect to get sponsorship to get your securities license if your job or department doesn't require it. The company doesn't pass the cost saving from offshore to reinvest career development.
