Pros

Some people in management understand how unreasonable the expectations are, building is nice, and coworkers are cool

Cons

Got confirmation from 2 separate people in leadership that LPL understaffs as a policy. They veiw any time you're not on the phone taking a call as them losing money. You will be overworked, you will be dealing with pissed off callers who have been waiting on hold for over an hour because there are not enough people to handle any spike in call volume. Management's response to this? Cut ACW which is used for note taking and catching your breath between calls. The only concern of management is individual metrics. Is the environment conducive to producing those metrics? Absolutely not. And management doesn't care. They'll dangle their tiny bonus as a form of incentive (it's like $800 per quarter and thats IF your metrics were pristine) This is the first job I've had where I almsot daily contemplate just quitting and going to work fast food/ retail until I can find something else in the industry. It will take a toll on your mental health and it absolutely does not pay enough for it to be worth that. Avoid working here unless you have no other options and even then look at it as temporary.

Pros

Good benefits. Unlimited RTO. Thoughtful and hardworking co-workers. Feedback is requested and addressed. Bullies (generally) not tolerated. Firm is trying to adjust to massive growth.

Cons

Very poor communication. Siloed information and decision-making. Sudden implementations of complex mandatory procedures. Reactive environment. Most work overcommitted and overcapacity. Zero OTJ training. Little support before being assigned to major, firm wide projects, highly visible, with enormous accountability and pressure to produce. Must be able to figure things out quickly, on your own.
