Pros

Great benefits! The company offers many programs and perks. Located in a nice, updated building.

Cons

Micromanaged to the max in the service area. Basically need permission to even get up to use the restroom. Employee moral is extremely low. Pay is low and it seems as though bonuses will be hard to come by with all the new nearly impossible procedures that have been implemented.

Pros

The new building in San Diego is great, nice to have a subsidized cafe, free gym, health clinic is probably the best amenity. Standing desks are awesome, and health benefits are good. But all those shiny things are starting to become very dull.

Cons

Love the open office concept but it doesnt help with collaboration at all. As each month passes I think our group gets more and more silo-ed. When going through the hiring process they try to lure you in with all the *perks* instead of giving you the salary you deserve, and these things aren't worth making less money. Especially since the raises they give are absolutely PATHETIC. It is almost a slap in the face. And don't even think about getting promoted. Long story short, LPL has the potential to be great. They strive to be an employer of choice, but the only choice they are helping me make is the choice I recently made to start looking for a new job - its the only way I will continue to further my career and make more money.
