Pros

Worked within the mktg dept. at LPL. Friendly, hard-working dept and colleagues. Definitely held up to the LPL value and standards. Was satisfied with interview process and compensation. Beautiful building. Good benefits and time honored vacation.

Cons

There is a lot of excessive protocol, middle-mgmt that gets in the way of getting out jobs more efficiently and dynamically. Middle-management needs more training on how to coach associates more effectively (a lot of pressure) and less waterfall workflow. A -lot- of work within 40-hr wk. Needed to upgrade to the latest digital marketing trends.

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.
