Pros

Vanguard is a great place to work for a lot of reasons. First, the company is ethical and treats its employees and customers the right way. The management team is very competent and the work life balance is pretty good.

Cons

The main disadvantage is the pay for performance philosophy, or lack thereof . They are a very conservative company by nature and that extends to compensation. There isn't a lot of motivation to do a truly great job.

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”.
