Pros

Sad but true the only thing still going for Vanguard are some of the best co-workers who give so much to this company and get nothing in return.

Cons

There are so many negative reviews out there and unfortunately as I read through them they are all true. I am wondering if the Board is sleeping or do they know what is going on here? Hoping big changes to the top level of management happens soon or this ship is going to sink. Very sad to see a great company go down because of a few bad people who are making terrible decisions like out sourcing IT jobs to India and forcing out people who are holding the place together.

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”.
