LPL Financial reviews

Where do i start? My department was reorganized 3 times while I was there (a little over 3 years) with 3 different top managers. Sooooo many AVPs - and what, exactly is their purpose?? Some of the managers were quite vindictive too and would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat to save their own neck. Or, they would take credit for something you did. When we were shorthanded I would often pull 12 hour shifts even though I wasn't asked. I was salaried so OT didn't matter. I never even got a Thank You or offered help. I was frequently called a liar (not in so many words though) and made to feel about 3 inches tall. The politics are so freaking bad and you can't trust anyone. They talk about getting rid of the silos, but nothing gets done about it. At one point I was in 6 hours of meetings a day, 1 hour for lunch, and that left 1 hour to get 8 hours of work done. If you don't stick to your guns about your time there in the office, it will consume you.

Compensation issues have been addressed for new employees coming on, however, they have not done much for loyal, high performing employees that were hired prior to the compensation restructuring. A number of employees have left LPL and come back within a year to be hired back at a much hire salary.
