      Pros

      Great place to get your licenses and bounce. Good benefits. Great place to get introduced to the industry. You also make great friends(best part)

      Cons

      - first off, it’s a huge CALL CENTER -If you get a licensing bonus, you have to stay for a year from the pay date of your last bonus in order to keep it. -Metrics HEAVY -Hourly -Close to impossible to move up -Horrible corporate culture. Internally the company is a mess. You’re a number. Imagine every corporate culture meme you can find on instagram, well that’s vanguard. -85% of this job is helping old people navigate the website. -You hardly use your licenses. -if you show exceptional work, the company will expect that from you. -They feed you in order to keep you motivated. Corporate pizza party!!! I cannot express how much freaking pizza I’ve had. -Quite honestly it ends up feeling like a zoo. If you want to work a call center and help old people work a website all just for them to get pissed off at you, then this job is for you. -average paycheck is $1,500 biweekly. (Just as a reference)

      Pros

      Decent amount of PTO that you can generally use. Based on the department , you can find some genuine people who care about helping you succeed. Benefits are good.

      Cons

      The pay is not competitive, company is getting very strict with RTO, and budgets are tight. Hearing of people getting laid off ....well being told that they have until x date to find new job or else they are fired.

      There is Nothing good about this place!!!!

      Cons

      I’ve been in your shoes. You’re looking for a career opportunity with a great employer. Vanguard is a financial behemoth. Seems like a great company. You’re thinking you will have a stable long term career with job security. Unfortunately, I have some bad news. This place is a nightmare! Starting with Upper Management they are more concerned about preserving their bonus and will throw you under the bus in order to save their stake of the “bonus pot” that everyone is fighting over. They will nit pick and challenge their Managers to find something wrong with at least twenty percent of their crew because if they don’t meet their quotas for “needs improvement” crew it will impact them. As a result you have a bunch of condescending, arrogant, two-faced Principals that transcends down to their Senior Management team. If you dare come in as an M3 or M4 manager you will be doomed to be politically pushed to the bottom of the rankings for the first few years and most never recover. So go ahead and think - “Well I’m better than that. I’ll do great”. You won’t and you will look back on this review and wish you had listened.
