Good for getting your foot in the door but unless you love taking calls back to back it gets old quick. - Client Service Excellence Center Representative Vanguard Employee Review

Pros

This position is 100% remote which is nice. Everyone is friendly. Good 401k match. Bonus is not unachievable once you learn how to put in exceptions for the million system issues you will have each day and how to rush clients off the phone.

Cons

Back to back calls. Lack of support from my manager but cannot speak all of them, I know there are some good ones out there but mine stayed in busy status all day everyday. Constantly changing stuff in the system midday without communicating it. They like to beta test updates on us all the time. They need to take you off the phone to learn new systems and procedures but they are too cheap. Half the time systems do not work like they are suppose to. They have Average handle time which does not make a lot of sense because you have to deal with a lot of older clients that do not know how to use a computer and it takes forever just to get them logged in.

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”.
