Pros

The pay maybe ok if you're permanent. Somewhat of a laid back atmosphere.

Cons

LPL treats it's contract or contingent employees like they are not an asset to the company. They don't receive any type of recognition and they are not included in the company events. Management doesn't do much to even acknowledge the temporary employees and they go out of their way to make sure that you know that you cannot do certain things because you're a temp! I have never felt so unappreciated by an employer. The holidays have come and gone and no one from management has stopped by or even sent an email to say "Happy Holidays, enjoy your New Year," or something along those lines. I'll just say that it is very unfriendly workplace to say the least.

Pros

LPL has great benefits for employees and in my case, flexible work schedules. I am not sure if that was available across the firm as it appears to be a case by case management decision.

Cons

LPL struggles to close the gender pay gap. Additionally managing up has become an art at LPL.

Pros

Exposure to many aspects of financial services, finance and accounting.

Cons

The dynamic of this company is constant change. The reason employees in the finance and accounting groups turn over so much is because no one can ever get comfortable with their job. Very few people are subject matter experts. Once there is a comfort level, all processes will change. There is very little work/life balance. Late nights and weekend work is very common.
