Pros

Vanguard has not laid anyone off in recent history, so your job is very stable.

Cons

Don't think you'll ever make the big bucks here. They have a decent 401k program and partnership, but nothing to brag about. The jobs there are all on the phone which can get very repetitive day in day out. A college degree is not required to succeed here, but Vanguard says it's a must. They need to compensate their employees accordingly and pay them avg salaries rather than low ball $30's for entry level.

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”.
