Pros

Vanguard is a company that is great as a client. It's built for passive indexing and is very cheap for the clients. One positive is most people are very nice at Vangaurd. PTO is the only decent aspect really.

Cons

Where to start. Kool-aid answers from your managers; managers don't give a hoot at how qualified an individual may be. Career development is very minimal, and the pay is simply embarrassing for the stress level.

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”.
