Pros

Excellent exposure to various parts of the business, high pay relative to most Vanguard entry level roles, strong job prospects at the company post program

Cons

Launch opportunities vary depending on the time you happen to graduate from the program. The only real downside is commuting out to Malvern.

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”.
