Vanguard reviews

Management is pathetic. We are micro-managed to the fullest extent. I have been there for over 2 years and see no opportunity to move up in the company, even though I have great stats and play their "game." Management will try to intimidate you and make you feel like you are pretty much in prison. It is almost as if they read some type of sweatshop for dummies book. In a nutshell, Vanguard is a great place to put on your resume if you can put up with their nonsense for long enough. If you dont have the guts to stick with them for at least 2 years, dont both applying.

dress code is behind the times, everyone is too nice (brain washed), concentration is more on playing silly March Madness games instead of acutal business. VG is "cash rich" as one executive put it 2 years ago, however, they refuse to pay what competitors pay (I make more than most and I am satisfied...I feel bad for others however). Supposedly there are no politics. Hello, it's a giant corporation, why push that under the rug and try to pretend it doesn't happen, it happens everywhere. The big push of 2010 is Good To Great....well VG has a long way to go because part of the book states you are up to speed with competitors, which VG Brokerage is not.
