      Pros

      Since they are growing too fast, they do let you do your own creative problem solving and do give you tools to do it. I was able to increase my skillset by learning new software products on my own ie. .net. Although the overtime was too much, it does add up in the bank account. Their 401k matching and bonuses were pretty good too. I actually liked working there at first and then one thing after another happend and I found out the company is just too inexperienced.

      Cons

      Very political. I have never worked in such a political environment before. You say anything wrong and they'll eventually get you. Also back stabbers behind every door. For those of us in IT, there is no personal life. Help Desk calling at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, 5am and on the weekends and no break at all. No off on schedules only ON. Panicky managers that think they know IT but acutally know nothing. Company still uses legacy systems and is too scared and inexperienced to upgrade to better products.

      Pros

      LPL is a fast growing company and is a great way to get some financial experience. There are many entry level positions for recent college graduates.

      Cons

      The employee retention rate is low because the salary is extremely low. Its tough to live on a low salary in expensive San Diego. Also, I feel that this company does not care very much for their employees (will not sponsor non citizens and no letter of references allowed). A lot of the structure in the back office needs to be cleaned up. LPL LOVES to low-ball people on salary... It's borderline abusive business practices. I can't believe this company is so stingy when it is doing extremely well.
