Pros

The location of Vanguard in a suburban setting in an exclusive area. Work life balance is good because they really don't expect you to work.

Cons

Vanguard has lost its moral compass. Greed and egos at the executive level reign supreme. Bill McNabb has destroyed this company. Vanguard is actively trying to push out older employees. For every one discrimination lawsuit you see in the press, there are probably 20-30 crew that have been humiliated, demoralized, and shunned to the point that they leave. Vanguard does not like old people (over 45), fat people, unattractive people. The executive team that discriminates on who you are and how you look is often old, fat, and ugly. Bill McNabb has ruined the house that the two Jack's built. Vanguard is swarming with consultant's that take our money and deliver nothing. The new way to get rid of older crew is to reorganize and make everyone post for their job and then not hire them into their current role. There most be at least 10 major reorganization's happening at any given time.

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”.
