Pros

Benefits and flexibility. I worked for a great team for the first 2 years of my time at LPL, then management changed. If you get in with a great team and managers, LPL is a great place to work.

Cons

New management of dept has no legal or chief compliance officer experience and are severely lacking in subject matter expertise required for their roles. Years of experience, in their opinion, can be taught in 2 months as they hire people who have never worked in a specialized area of compliance. It was the first time in my career that a lawyer or CCO was not my boss.

Company changing; stock price over Employees and Advisors

Pros

Great facilities; fantastic Advisors; financially stable (for now)

Cons

Company used to be very balanced between the welfare of the Advisors and the welfare of the employees. Since going public, every year the company becomes less concerned about the welfare of the Advisors and employees, and more concerned about the performance of the stock. Stock compensation of senior leadership has led to a focus on maximizing short-term success over long-term stability and growth. Average tenure is on the decline, and the last time that happened it led to a lot of challenges for the company. This used to be a company you wanted to stay with long-term, but now it's become a step on the ladder to a better company.
