      Pros

      Only few good leaders are left, until they retire.

      Cons

      Vanguard has changed their performance management drastically. In one side they are trying to promote that failure is acceptable. On other hand during performance review, they are promoting negative enforcement, managers are asked to look for crew mistake and ding them, just in name of feedback, which consider as gift. So let say a crew did 8 thing good out 10, they will get poorly rated. Therefore, if you are looking for long term career then this not company to work for. All the new and good work is getting out sourced, in name of cost saving. So senior leader can fatten their bonus payout. Poor base salary, bad health benefits,

      Pros

      Yearly "Partnership" bonus is almost guaranteed. Co-workers are friendly.

      Cons

      Internal systems that are used to process client trades, transfer requests, in addition to the phone systems have all experienced ongoing technical issues. IT can't seem to get a hold of it. Fixes are temporary and they arise again. This has affected the morale with Leadership and Crew. Employees with client facing roles are tasked with the burden of communicating these issues to clients but they are not well informed as to why there are issues and how they are being addressed. Processing timeframes are excessive. 4-6 weeks for some items. Leadership only cares about metrics, they need a reality check t set the proper expectations.
