Pros

Vanguard offers good benefits, a nice work environment, and does a pretty good job of promoting diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Very few chances for advancement, uninformed middle-management (team leaders), and advancement usually depends on your friendship with a manager. Vanguard also has a habit of terminating the more tenured employees to prevent the stigma of layoffs during downturns in the market. 'The system used to generate metrics (Horizon) is often run incorrectly and results in negatively skewed productivity percentages. I tried to inform crew relations of one such error, however my words fell upon deaf ears.
