Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at LPL Financial full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The job is easy.
Cons
There is outright discrimination and it's noticed by everyone. They groom who they would like in certain positions even though there are more qualified people. They tend to have different rules for different people and HR just covers it up. They nickle and dime you on pay raises and you're constantly worry if you are gonna be taken off track to stop you from getting that 1% raise.
Advice to Management
Diversity is a good thing if you use your talent no matter the race. You can't change the culture if you don't change the managers who are actively discrimnating.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at LPL Financial full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
A lot of helpful resources to find answers to common inbound questions and also procedures.
Pretty laid back work environment. Most of the management teams are very easy to speak to, and are very helpful if you need anything.
Multiple events throughout the year to encourage positive morale (Ice cream social, holiday parties, health and wellness fair, etc.)Cons
Communication is not always the best between different departments.
Some of the systems have glitches, and periodically break down or are not accessible due to maintenance.
If you work in the service department, get used to getting yelled at by the financial advisors, and then getting push back from operations.LPL Financial 2019-01-09 21:03 PSTHelpful (3)
