Report
Vanguard serves the charter school industry for recruitment mailings to public school students. It has not met obligations for opt outs of these mailings. Check with them to see where they are violating contracts or laws. Compliance is a weak spot.

Report
I applied and interviewed for the promotional inside sales position. First off let me add that the Hr Rep Amy was amazing! Even though I may not have been chosen for the position, (which was disappointing to say the least) management was very professional and it appeared as a great company. Normally I don't post reviews, however I believe in giving credit when due. The only thing that stood out was the fact, the director of business development never reached back out to me when i had offered her customers who were interested in purchasing products. Nonetheless this experience has given me motivation start my own promotional product company and I definitely have to thank Vanguard for this motivation!
