Pros
Cafeteria. Get your birthday off.
Cons
Where do I even begin. The service department at LPL is horrible. The culture is awful and everyone hates helping anyone in other departments. The advisors are extremely rude. You are expected to be a robot and take call after call. You are micromanaged down to the second. There are no paid sick days so you are expected to use your PTO when sick. The pay is very low. The annual merit increase is a joke ( literally like 20 cents)even when you performance at a high level and earn the 7% increase (they tell you the department was only given x amount of dollars for merit increase). If you want to get licensed, good luck trying to get them to sponsor you. Promotions are based on favoritism. Company claims to be "client centric mindset" but it’s just all about numbers. Let's not forget about how the new hires are being paid more than current employees with more experience and LPL hasn't planned anything on raising salaries.
