Pros

Great co-workers. Company cares about its employees. Excellent benefits. Good culture. Great leadership and vision at the very top. Company is growing even during the pandemic.

Cons

Pay is not nearly where it should be. A lot of politics. RTO is great if we actually felt we could take it. Never enough time and people end up taking way less vacation and then are overworked.

Pros

At local level, they provide useful regulatory backbone to smaller independents who want to hang out their own brokerage shop shingle, and use LPL to clear trades and take care of regulatory matters.

Cons

ETF-centric mentality, and where they try to get tricky with alternative assets, they usually are high fee kick-backs to LPL and poor ultimate product choices. They claim independence and being unconflicted, but nothing makes it onto their platform without a fee retrocession to LPL. None of their own funds, per se, but lots of added model management fees in addition the wrap fees. Retail investors mostly still get suckered. Bull market shop that won't handle a real bear market well.
