Pros

Stellar reputation and having Vanguard on your resume will get you interviews when you are ready to get a career somewhere else. Low stress once you understand the regime. quality technology and systems.

Cons

low pay, along the lines of 20% less than comparable companies. you will almost always be tethered to a phone job. Management doesnt care about you, your hopes, or aspirations.

Pros

- Lots of PTO available right away. - Decent company culture - Relatively relaxed work environment

Cons

-In Arizona, if you are a white male, your career path is quite short. The office is set on ensuring it's gender diversity is very high in Scottsdale. -Management won't make decisions. I don't know if they are afraid or unable, but everything requires approval from someone higher than the person you're talking to. -Painfully bad technology. Improvements are being made, but the improvements bring Vanguard into the 2000s, not into the future. - High retention of incompetent staff. No one ever gets fired for performance, so if you aren't being grossly unprofessional, you won't lose your job. -Poor salary for the industry. -For those who take pride in their job, Service Recovery is outlandishly stressful. Nightmares about work should not be a department reality.
