Pros

A few but diminishing very quickly

Cons

Vanguard systematically discriminates employees over 40 years old, minorities, and people with disabilities. If you ever complain, they will hide everything under the carpets and tell you its your imagination. NEVER NEVER NEVER trust HR!!!! HR will manipulate the facts and deny any wrong doings. That's why there are so many lawsuits against them. If you are in a difficult situation and are being "managed out", please trust yourself, document every detail, consult a lawyer, and sue them. Remember do not let their unethical practice destroy you. Keep your dignity and fight with them strategically.

Pros

Vanguard covered housing for the summer for almost completely free and the people you work with will actively try to develop you.

Cons

The work you do (and therefore your overall experience) can be highly team dependent and team assignment seems to be random

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
