Pros

Stability - Vanguard has a reputation of never firing or laying off its employees. They will not fire you, but they will make your 37.5 hour work week HELL until you quit.

Cons

United Way.....its never ending, donate, donate, donate with your 2% yearly review raises it is impossible to see why you should give away your hard earned money each year. If not United Way, its gift-giving to kids during the Christmas holidays, donating your "galley" voucher, or gathering of canned goods. The weird thing is that crewmemers gave, gave, gave because management pretended not to be watching, lol.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
