Pros

The benefits are terrific. The retirement plan is very good. They match 4% of your pay and also contribute an additional 10% each year. This is hard to beat. Vanguard is very serious about continuous improvement. Vanguard University offers a lot of classes that I've found to be helpful. It's a great place to work as long as you're serious about you're job and you have a great manager.

Cons

Limited locations (only in three states).

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”.
