Opportunities for career growth for motivated, talented employees; lack of compensation for loyal employees.

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are great opportunities for career growth for motivated, talented employees. From my experience, there is great work/life balance and LPL is very accommodating for the needs of its employees. There are opportunities for some employees to work from home when needed or as part of a regular schedule. For new employees, the hiring salary is competitive.

Cons

Compensation issues have been addressed for new employees coming on, however, they have not done much for loyal, high performing employees that were hired prior to the compensation restructuring. A number of employees have left LPL and come back within a year to be hired back at a much hire salary.

Don’t be fooled, despite all they claim LPL is not an employer of choice. Employees still fall closer to the bottom of

Pros

Benefits good, new building is nice but not much else.

Cons

Superficial leaders that talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. Actual business knowledge, hard work and experience are viewed as negatives if you are in management. Zero loyalty to employees. Pay is below average and they tell you it is but don't care. Stubbornness to offshore everything. Personal greed is so obvious. Employees are deluted/brainwashed with so many feel good stories that hide the realilty. Don't be fooled.
