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

LPL Financial offers a flexible hybrid work model, which is one of the better aspects of the company. Managers are generally not overly strict about specific in-office days, giving employees some flexibility in managing their schedules.

Cons

Work-life balance is a major challenge. Weekend release work is common, often averaging two weekends per month, yet there is no overtime compensation. Employees are essentially expected to work a full workweek plus weekends when needed, which has contributed to high turnover on some teams. The culture can also feel harsh and impersonal. Leadership rarely expresses appreciation or recognition for employee contributions, which negatively impacts morale. Some managers come across as cold or overly task-focused, creating an environment where employees feel valued only for output rather than as people. There also appears to be a lack of trust between employees and leadership. Many teammates do not seem confident that leadership understands or genuinely addresses their concerns. Overall, morale feels low, and recognition for strong performance appears limited.
