LPL Financial Reviews

I have to preface this with the fact that I love working for LPL and believed in the mission of the company. LPL has changed in the past few months. The CEO went from blaring his horn about "Be Great From Anywhere" and we used that as a recruitment strategy. I was a benefactor of this strategy being hired out of state from any office location. After two years here, I truly thought I'd have a future of growth, but that quickly changed in the past few months. Now the strategy is "Be Great From One Of Our Office Locations"... No mention from the CEO about how his push for us to hire remote talent all across the US, are now faced with either moving across the country to keep their job or be forced to look for a new job in what is still a bad labor market. All that was said is a statement about a vague timeline of when you'd likely need to be back in office but also check with your org. Pretty disappointed with how things have changed here, and uncertain of my own future here after this. Honestly, this feels more like a way for them to conduct a layoff without calling it a layoff - get everyone remote to quit or be laid off due to not moving.

Leadership of all levels are oblivious as to how to treat their employees or run said departments. A company that once looked to their employees for feedback no longer cares for their opinions or the value they add to the company. Senior management has taken a position to harass and bully employees forcing many to seek new employment. The toxicity and hostility of the environment has forced other former colleagues to quit without securing employment elsewhere when the environment has become unbearable. You are honestly left with the decision of choosing between a paycheck or your mental and emotional health - I took the first position I was offered outside of the company as well as a pay cut because I could not handle the hostility of the department I was working in or the ineptitude of Senior and Executive Management. Senior management has tormented colleagues both publicly and privately among immediate colleagues and colleagues outside of the department. Numerous pleas to HR and employee relations have gone unanswered or ignored. Apparently all you need to do is have a connection with an executive to destroy the morale in department without consequence.
