      Pros

      Retirement benefits and healthcare are excellent. Most people are friendly and you can make a career here.

      Cons

      Increasing bias against anyone who has too much time at Vanguard. If you are going to come, come external at mid-level management or above. Unless you come external, you will find yourself underpaid (significantly) within 3-5 years. Best opportunities are saved for people in development programs regardless of performance. Recent obsession with mediocre MBA’s with “top-school” credentials.

      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”.
