Pros

It’s still a job for those of us lucky enough to have one.

Cons

I can’t sit by anymore. This company is full of the most self inflated, self promoting, tone deaf people in the entire universe. Shortly after laying off employees with high tenure who drove the culture, they promote senior executives. This alone would be enough to leave a sour taste in the mouths of the rest of us, but we didn’t stop there. Not only did they do it less than a week after the layoffs, they are promoting it all over social channels. Touting these executives who now have EVP titles. Soon this company will have more EVPs than Employees. The culture is rotten. The pressure is maddening. The two faced lies are adding up.

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.
