Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at LPL Financial full-time
Pros
Experience to build resume; new facilities;
Cons
Hires unqualified candidates; have to play politics to move up; believes they are "employer of choice", but doesn't actually care about the employee
Advice to Management
Treat employees fairly (not equally); promote based on performance and not politics; be transparent (i.e. don't spin a communication); if a position requires advanced Excel skills, require a basic Excel prerequisite to get hired; actually write something on an employees annual review
