Pros

Great opportunities for advancement if willing to work hard. Entrepreneurial company with strong leadership. Sets a high standard and demands excellence. Teammates are very dedicated, among the most talented in the industry, and support one another.

Cons

Challenging pace can sometimes be hard to maintain. The company has grown rapidly over the last several years, which has led to some silos popping up and can make information-sharing a challenge. This is improving recently with effort from management.

Pros

LPL provides the resources for advisors to be successful while giving them their independence to run their practice the way they best see fit. Great access to products and research. Work with advisors to maximize marketing and sales strategies.

Cons

Technology and trading fees can be high at times. If someone is not able to work with limited incentives or sales requirements, not the place to be.
