Very Conservative in dress, corporate culture is a bit twisted as no
one
is really allowed to voice their business concerns, hours are crazy the
communicated work week is 37.5 hours, but the reality is that you
should
expect to work 65-70 without compensation for lucky individuals who are
exempt, opportunit for advancement is a joke. Middle management lacks
people skills and the ability to develop thier staff. My manager
can't/won't give clear expectations of a job description, and wants to
hold one-on-ones (development meetings) once every quarter. Middle
management is often dishonest to there managers which helps creates and
adds to the twisted culture that Vangaurd has become. Thier sterling
reputation to the outside world comes at the expense of it's employees.
If you think job opportunities are just too good to pass up at
Vanguard,
I would strongly advise you only stay at the company for 12 to 18
months
to absorbe all the information you can and then leave quickly. It's sad
to say that this company was once a great place to work, but they have
changed and this is not the case any more. The development programs
they
offer are to ivy league graduates only, if you don't come from a brand
school they you can pretty much forget ever stepping into one of these
roles.
