Pros

A big company with new facilities and amenities (a inhouse clinic and gym are big plus) You will be rewarded with opportunities to learn as much as you want (As long as you own the tasks) Most of the people I worked with are nice and helpful

Cons

Don't expect you are getting much supports from management except lip service Don't expect your manager will know much about the department functions as many of them are airborne from elsewhere, but expect you as SME to own EVERYTHING you know about the department operations Technology is well behind industry average (still in the 90s) Employee compensation and benefits are below industry average

Pros

Schedule flexibility can be good, but that varies by dept. Volunteer opportunities are limitless and LPL give 16 hrs/year to volunteer.

Cons

Salaries are not top of industry. Future location in Ft Mill is going to cause additional travel time and money for a good chunk of employees and company isn't willing to make any kind of concessions for those employees that it will cause a hardship for. Employees were blindsided at the end of 2015 that no merit increases would be given in Feb 2016 (which was normal practice for the past several years). Supposedly a new schedule was implemented for merit increases and those will be re-evaluated in Sept 2016.

Pros

Pay if you come in from the outside. Flexible work life balance. Very good mix of benefits. Opportunities to volunteer time off with Pay.

Cons

Lack of common sense, Layoffs. Constant unending change and shuffling of organizations with poor leadership to pick a direction and stick it out. HR policies tie the hands of managers to be effective. Caps to compensation. Promotions without pay raises.
