Pros

Opportunities if you like the politics game Some departments can be great if you have a good leader/co-workers For some departments, just get your job done and have flexible hours

Cons

Out of touch leadership Culture of exclusion for V-level employees and up Over 15% of workforce is VP or higher Decisions made from the ivory tower without consulting the worker bees on the ground who actually do the work Major politics Management expects to be treated like royalty with bloated sense of self-importance

Pros

You are left completely alone

Cons

LPL has a great concept built by previous management. It is now run and executed by people who have little or no industry knowledge and whose only desire is to line their own wallet
