Pros

Paid training, and a lot of great industry knowledge, especially if you are trying to get started in the finance world. Good benefits and a solid Stock option plan. Facilities are modern and company has clinic and gym on site.

Cons

Fast pace environment with metrics that are always being upped or changed entirely. Slow support for management, not much opportunity to move up. Culture is not the best, you can see it in the High Turnover Rate

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture is great and the people are great. LPL does a great job of setting expectations around accountability and working as a team with a common goal. People crave ownership at LPL whereas other companies I've worked at people crave handing-off work. They do a great job of hiring the right people.

Cons

In general, the pay is not very competitive and the talent pool is dramatically underpaid in aggregate. This causes a lot of good talent to look elsewhere when they should be compensated for their work.
