Pros

Newer campus, free coffee, water, and tea. Workstations were new and up to date.

Cons

Where do I begin?! My experience there was a nightmare. At first I was really excited to start a new job at a brand new company. However, that started to quickly fade about a month into the job when I started to realize the role I interviewed for didn't match up with the work that was given. I was also never "onboarded" or given any type of training. I brought this up to my manager who KNEW I had no experience in the tasks that was given to me and admitted that the role was different from what I interviewed for but I had to "figure it out it quickly"! I was thrown random tasks that my manager probably didn't even know how to do. When I did ask questions, I was criticized on how I even asked questions! I finally came to my senses and realized that my manager's ONLY concern was how she would benefit from me. Since I was a brand new employee who needed a little more guidance she was willing to give and not having an LPL network, she knew I had nothing to offer her and treated me like I was garbage up until my last minute there.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
