Vantaggi
I would rate the starting salary at Vanguard for my own job role as above average, though I'm not entirely certain that this would hold true for everyone. Likewise, workload is quite reasonable.
Svantaggi
The operating environment is extremely political in nature, leading to a prevailing culture of backbiting and dishonesty. Surviving here for over ten years automatically gets you a doctorate in Political Science. The company treats most of the crew as though they are owned by the company rather than employed by them. If you do not fall into their perception of what constitutes an ideal crewmember in terms of personal philosophy you will be targetted for reprisal. Promotions often occur only when a personal relationship exists between the promoting manager and the promoted individual. Work ethic and general competency seem to take a back seat to personal relationships and personal preferences. This often results in managers being promoted to positions they cannot handle as they are generally ignorant of the work their people perform and the challenges they face. Vanguard takes internal security to an extreme, treating the bulk of their workforce as suspects rather than monitoring based on individual circumstances. This only servers to tell the crew that they are not trusted, and introduces an element of bad faith that just adds to the evil atmosphere here.
