Vanguard reviews

Management in PA has more resources to develop crew (can develop them to advanced investment groups on-site). AZ and NC develop structural attrition due to lack of Investment Management jobs. Phone-group management gives pushback when someone attempts to get a CFA (as they have nowhere to promote you to). After passing level 2 or 3, these reps or traders are hired away at a hefty premium. There is an Acceleration to Finance Professional program in PA, and a Vanguard Accelerated Development Program for Investment Management. No such program exists in Arizona or North Carolina. I know of 4 people in phone groups who left Vanguard after passing Level 3 of the CFA because they could not get the 48 month work experience in their phone roles. There was no push to place them, and not positions to fill.

Company continues to cut investor costs at the expense of employees. Poor technology platform. Company promotes individuals who often lack technical experience. The brown nosing makes me puke!
