Pros

Smart people that want to do a good job. Nice offices in Fort Mill.

Cons

The company has simply grown too complex, too large, too fast, without the required resources and investments in technology and processes. This leads to a bad deal for current employees and unrealistic workload, long hours, and lots of chaos and fire drills to meet unrealistic deadlines. Nevertheless, management will grow the company without rewarding the employees that enabled the growth. Pay is way below average and doesn't come close to compensating for the workload and stress. We're also currently on a hiring freeze, but not a growth freeze. The company is being sued for its cash sweeps dealings. This company is a very stressful working environment overall.

Pros

There are great people and teams at LPL who truly want to solve complex problems, do great work and celebrate one another.

Cons

So many. -Leadership lacks the ability to make good decision and move the work and infrastructure forward to allow for the company to scale. -Leadership lacks commitment and authenticity regarding people and talent initiatives. -Company operates as a startup and creates its own chaos due to lack of standardization of even the basic policies -Lack of courage as leaders and employees operate with a lack of integrity and honesty and continue to pull the wool over the CEO's eyes with regards to ability to execute. -Paralysis analysis with endless power points, frameworks and data lakes that are reviewed endlessly creating slow and painful death by a thousand cuts and inhibits ability for tams to make progress. -Lack of ownership and accountability of senior leadership.

Pros

Pay and interesting work. A good entry level place to gain corporate experience at that level.

Cons

Horrible, self-serving leadership; especially at SVP level. Leaders will overload you and set you up for failure and take credit for your projects to make themselves look better. No coaching or career guidance is ever provided by VP and above.
