My last day at Vanguard was the best day of my life - Flagship Representative Vanguard Employee Review

Pros

It is a almost impossible to get fired. If you can reserve a table for happy hour at Four Peaks the sky is the limit for your career. Clean bathrooms. Tuition assistance to help you land a job somewhere else.

Cons

You can't afford the seasonal ales at Four Peaks. Anyone who is interested in a real finance job gets their licensing, a little experience, and leaves. Very high turnover. Pay is laughable. IT IS A CALL CENTER which is fine but the company sells the jobs as a financial services position which you will be able to have a book of business and help people - this is not true. Everyone is miserable. I would sit in the parking lot in my car for ten minutes and cry everyday before going in. The level of incompetence of people working there (especially management) is disturbing.

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”.
