Pros

Schedule flexibility can be good, but that varies by dept. Volunteer opportunities are limitless and LPL give 16 hrs/year to volunteer.

Cons

Salaries are not top of industry. Future location in Ft Mill is going to cause additional travel time and money for a good chunk of employees and company isn't willing to make any kind of concessions for those employees that it will cause a hardship for. Employees were blindsided at the end of 2015 that no merit increases would be given in Feb 2016 (which was normal practice for the past several years). Supposedly a new schedule was implemented for merit increases and those will be re-evaluated in Sept 2016.

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.
