Pros

-For awhile, LPL's outlook as a financial services has been pretty good (a little less so more recently). -The name is recognizable in the industry and has some innovative ideas which make it attractive to advisors. -Strong 401k match, occasional bonuses.

Cons

-Return to office push. -Ancient and outdated technology. -Compliance and red-tape make everything ridiculously hard to implement. -Higher-level leadership (especially in Marketing Solutions) is very out of touch with how to evolve the business to stay relevant. -Pay is below market value. -It seems extensive layoffs happen every couple months without any notice. You never know who is next and how it will impact your team/direct line of leadership.
