LPL Financial Services Employer Reviews

LPL is very good at making a prospective employee think that they are getting a great job. In reality you will be overworked and underpaid. They are also outsourcing many departments in order to maximize their profits while diminishing yours. In addition, many of the financial advisors are dishonest and dim. Do not work for this company unless you can – more... not find any other job. – less

copied from co-worker @ Glassdoor-agreed:
Managers of staff should have people and management skills, as well as be good examples. Managers should conduct themselves in a professional manner at work and function related social unctions.

If you're considering LPL as an employer please know that the company in the beginning stages of outsourcing all employees including everyone from admin assistants to SVPs and managers.

LPL is doing their best to rid themselves of overhead in any manner possible. There are outsourced workers in the company now, all of whom have had their salaries cut – more... while their health insurance premiums have increased. A double dose of bad for them.

This is the future for anyone, SVP and below who is hired by LPL Financial. The company is ridding itself of expenses chiefly because their stock has remained flat from day one.

Upper management is top heavy with far too many executives. If they were to cut 10% off the top tier, nobody would notice and it would add that much more money to the company.

Interestingly, all the cost cutting is being done while the company builds a state of the art multi-storey tower in San Diego and while their top tier management fly back and forth across the country in rented private jets. Luxury for upper management, low salaries and higher health insurance for everyone else.

My best advice to anyone considering LPL as a future employer is to look elsewhere. Take it from this current employee, avoid LPL at all costs. – less

I learned a lot plus I was able to learn different things in other departments which ment means i was able to grow with the company. Management gave you a chance to grow and learn things, Co-worker are okay no different from any other job but most of all i really enjoy my job i learned alot while i was there.

LPL is a great place to work. You will hard, but you are valued for your hard work. Also, it you work hard you will move up in the company. Management styles from differ from person to person, but for the most part you are trusted to do your job well without too much micro management. I highly recommend working at LPL.

Advice for those seeking employment with LPL Financial is to come into the position high as far as salary goes. They do not pay well and will low ball and hope that you go with it. Demand an offer letter with the exact salary you're looking for and the amount of vacation time that had been confirmed with you. Reconfirm benefits. When they made me a – more... verbal offer of employment, LPL tried to lowball me on salary and short change on vacation time. I did not go for it and reminded HR of what had been discussed. THEY CAVED.

It's a fast paced company, featuring an odd mix of mediocre to good senior management, (yes, issues there) and many workers at the SVP level and below are burned out. Turn over is low due solely to the economy. If employment in this area was more stable, it's my belief that numerous people would depart LPL. Numerous. – less

LPL is a leader in the financial services industry. Forward thinking and always changing.
