Good company, Management not very efficient/trained

Business Outlook

Pros

Worked within the mktg dept. at LPL. Friendly, hard-working dept and colleagues. Definitely held up to the LPL value and standards. Was satisfied with interview process and compensation. Beautiful building. Good benefits and time honored vacation.

Cons

There is a lot of excessive protocol, middle-mgmt that gets in the way of getting out jobs more efficiently and dynamically. Middle-management needs more training on how to coach associates more effectively (a lot of pressure) and less waterfall workflow. A -lot- of work within 40-hr wk. Needed to upgrade to the latest digital marketing trends.
