Pros

Vanguard is extremely good at helping employees maintain a work-life balance. Employees are encouraged to utilize vacation time and scheduling can be flexible to accomodate issues that arize. Very family friendly.

Cons

Flexibility and friendliness of the culture can sometimes lead to a slow moving environment. Producing larger quantities of superior work is not necessarily to an employees benefit, making "star" employees feel under utilized

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”.
