LPL Financial Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at LPL Financial full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – This company never stands still; leadership is always looking for the next thing to make LPL better, stronger, more efficient. They're making incredible strides at building beautiful new facilities employees can feel proud of and enjoy working in. Coworkers are largely very competent and accountable – LPL hires strong talent. Compensation and benefits are fair to good.

Cons – Because of the break-neck speed and crushing workload, this is not the place to be if you're a salaried employee and are looking for work/life balance. You won't find that at LPL.

The culture isn't fully formed yet (though they're working on it) and feels different depending on your department and area's leadership. In my area, it's both stiff and stifling. They try to make us into Stepford Wife copies of themselves rather than allow people to be individuals.

This is possibly the hardest, most demanding, most perfection-seeking place you'll ever work.

Advice to Senior Management – Recognize internal talent and promote more from within rather than just chasing down "superstars" from other companies.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
