Pros

Good folks you'll get to know and its nice to share the frustration with others.

Cons

Extremely political, most managers all got their positions by political means. They could not last a week doing the work of whom they manage. It is upsetting to see them chat in circles while our phones and incidents are increasing. There is no sense of humor or relief to be found. Expect heart burn and high blood pressure as a result of being a LPL employee.

Pros

Good work life balance and benefits are pretty good depending on management. Really the only thing that kept me here so long was the people in my team.

Cons

Pay is lacking compared to competitors. CEO makes 15 million and CFO makes 10 million, but they don't want to pay competitive wages. Senior Leadership in finance space have brought it up, but little to no change
