Pros

Steady contract work, flexible working environment.

Cons

Do not work contract if you are remotely interested in a permanent position. There are contractors who has been working over five years without being considered for permanent opportunities. They seem not to value contractors. Vanguard makes it difficult for contractors to apply for available internal postions. As a contractor you are not allowed to apply or see a listing of internal positions. Most permanent employees are able to grow within the company. They encourage their permanent employees change departments often.

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”.
