Pros

Lots of advancement opportunity. Great company to start off your career as you come out of college. Recommend to others.

Cons

Even though the job is a good job, the day to day job becomes a bit boring. Feels like a call center. The salary could be a little higher

Pros

From management down, the Vanguard culture is everywhere. Everyone is friendly and client focused. Management is willing to listen to ideas and is able to take constructive criticism. Improvements can be driven by the employees.

Cons

The biggest downside to working at Vanguard is the pay. Since we are a low cost provider of services, there are no commissions. Based on the amount of work we do, we are probably paid 20-30% less than we should be. However, Vanguard is only really suitable as the secondary income in a two income family for its location along the Main Line.

Pros

Training good for the most part, great food service at many buildings (when you could get there), proprietary computer systems reasonably easy to learn, OK to be on internet between calls, job performance (call quality) system attempts to be objective.

Cons

Team leaders immature, inexperienced outside of VG, and seemed to "drink the Kool-Aid", advancement opportunities few and far between, very regimented day on phones, many people seemed full of themselves no matter their place in the organization, made a big deal regarding their diversity, which to me means that they really don't have much.
