Pros

Great place to start a career and learn the industry. Good benefits, though the costs have risen dramatically in the past couple years.

Cons

There's a ceiling for moving up within the company. Promotions are generally given either to external hires or to young employees who are relatively new to the company (less than 2 years with Vanguard).

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”.
