Pros

Good work-life balance. Good benefits: medical, dental, full gym & health clinic on-site. Good middle management talent to work for.

Cons

Company is starting to apply pressures of going public on employees: low bandwidth within departments and cost-cutting is a priority. Strong movement away from hiring in San Diego and relocating jobs to Charlotte, NC office. Home office staff is growing, but is now too big for strong cross departmental transparency. Different business units feel like silos.

Pros

small company and direct access to upper management

Cons

way too many ongoing changes to upper management which causes an ever changing company roadmap. Pay is low and the workload is high and the benefits are minimal at best

Pros

Nice newer building in San Diego. Some good folks work at LPL.

Cons

Management is almost non-existent although there is a plethora of people that hold the title. If you love to be micro managed the service center is the place for you. Inefficient operations and structure in service center. Management was able to outsource their own job and use the feedback from a third party to make "improvements" that never materialized when they were clearly being stated by the employees. LPL has difficulty in identifying and nurturing talent. Company has stagnant growth because they are catering to the old way of doing business, watch LPL leave San Diego in a few years when the lease is up.
