Pros
This was a company that I didn't see myself being at more than a year. It turned that I made it past 17 years! In the beginning this was a great company to work for. The benefits were great, the atmosphere was good. I loved going to work and seeing all the friendly faces from day to day! This in a way was home away from home. I enjoyed what I did. You could learn so much from your day to day job. This company was true to its word when it came to family. I never had issues when I needed to take care of family first, then it all went downhill
Cons
After the last few years you could feel the changes coming but not to the extent of what it became and what is still going on now! You feel like after giving so many years to a company that you don't get treated like your nothing anymore! You don't matter. They make you feel like what you do day to day is nothing. You are replacable and I guess that is true with contractors or the younger people who get paid a lot less and they know no better. You go to work and do your job! You can go above and beyond to still end up on the outside looking in! I did nothing wrong so why am I sitting home with no job like so many others are now? Oh, revamping the company, ok if you say so. I seen so many people lose their jobs including myself over the last 2 years. You can get pulled from your current position and told here is the deal...either you pass your series testing or your without a job. Processing has loss so many people because of this. Other people who weren't in processing to start out with but put there and also told either you pass or you have no job! You try to find another position in the company but your fighting with 20-30 other people for it! So many people are going through this! This is all crazy to me. Along time ago I would have told people to get a job at Vanguard but no longer would I do that! The people that I know that are still there are no longer happy. Why should you go to work everyday and feel that you are no longer appreciated? You feel like there is a target on your back and wondering if you may be the next person without a job. Starting over now with finding a job is horrible. The pay is like minimum wage compared to Vanguard. I just smh and pray for my friends that are still there!! Vanguard you have to do better!
