      Pros

      Benifits are nice. 401K match is great. Leave everyday at 5 sharp. They get you your series 6 and 63

      Cons

      Management is pathetic. We are micro-managed to the fullest extent. I have been there for over 2 years and see no opportunity to move up in the company, even though I have great stats and play their "game." Management will try to intimidate you and make you feel like you are pretty much in prison. It is almost as if they read some type of sweatshop for dummies book. In a nutshell, Vanguard is a great place to put on your resume if you can put up with their nonsense for long enough. If you dont have the guts to stick with them for at least 2 years, dont both applying.

      Pros

      Vanguard covered housing for the summer for almost completely free and the people you work with will actively try to develop you.

      Cons

      The work you do (and therefore your overall experience) can be highly team dependent and team assignment seems to be random

      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”.
