    Decent Work Life Balance, Not tons of transparency with leadership

    Jan 27, 2023 - Application Engineer in Charlotte, NC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Mix of very modern tech stacks and older legacy projects - Lots of opportunity to own projects and migrations - Decent work-life-balance, if you like hybrid 3x a week - Good PTO (especially if you purchase extra) - Insanely good 401k matching - Focused on delivering quality and cheap options for investors

    Cons

    - Lack of transparency and openness to remote - Can get stuck working in legacy code - PTO is combined with sick time - Agile teams' quality varies heavily, some are great and others pretty bad - Lack of focus on how vanguard can be a positive impact (sustainability) in the industry beyond 'lower costs to clients'

    Great company stressful position

    Mar 22, 2023 - Senior Customer Service Representative 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Company has great leadership. The leaders I had will work with you as much as the can as long as you communicate frustrations and areas of difficulty. Additional training was always offered. Some of the colleagues were all for the team work mentality, which made working for this company great. also the pay was very well.

    Cons

    Back to back elevated calls. Lots of people just pass the calls on to the next rep to deal with. The position is remote so as soon as you clock out you have to deal with your family after taking a TON of calls that you’re expected to de-elevate your self. It isn’t fair to them to greet someone who has had to take ownership of a call that another representative slacked on to provide all the needed information. Most of the licensed representatives lack taking ownership of the calls they are literally paid to handle. Know room for growth or leadership even with the experience.
