Vanguard reviews

Keep cutting the "original hire" reasons to stay: 1. No warning took away retiree medical account. Generally over 100k for most that was available for health premiums (Medicare supplement). It wasa piece of my retirement plan that vanished. 2. No warning took away 10k retiree life policy. Hard to get a decent rate at retirement age. 3. Pay is generally 20 to 30% less than similar roles elsewhere. 4. Partnership was once up to 30% after 7 years or less. Now lucky if it is 15%. 5. Don't plan on moving up far unless you're in the "anointed" management or MBA program. As a female generally need to be tall skinny with long blonde hair. 6. Forcing a 3 day return to office to maintain"culture" which is a farce at this point. 7. Loyalty is all fake now.

The few great people that are left are often drowned out by an apathetic mass of people. New hires get paid more than established and successful employees because of poorly thought-out HR policies. Senior leaders constantly parrot that "Vanguard cares about you", that may be true for them but no longer seems true for the average crew member. Layoffs are a thing, but they don't talk about it. It seems that Vanguard wants to transform into a more typical company but is refusing to pay like it.
