I just spent over an hour on the phone with their support team. After being transferred and put on hold 8 times and passed back and forth between departments as nobody had the competency to help me access my 403B plan online, I hung up in frustration. I even ended up talking to multiple agents repeatedly, as there was no internal communication system and I had to re-enter my personal information and explain my situation as if it was new every time. This company is incredibly archaic and inefficient

The worst service, and worse company I have ever worked with in my life. You will never get your money back from them without an attorney. This company should be forbidden from operating in the United States.

This company is the worst people to get ahold of. I’m trying to get my 401k, and I’ve tried several times to contact them, one time I was told I had no account there, when I had my statement in my hand. Reach out to you employers if they have them, ask them to change to a honest company.

I have two accounts with the Vanguard Group. Both are 401K retirement accounts. On Dec 29th, I call Vanguard and talked to a service representative. I wanted to see if I could combine the accounts. I asked the representative to look up my other account, which seems reasonable to me. But she was unable to get that information. I thought that was odd and asked to speak to a supervisor, but was denied. I asked for a transcript of our conversation and that was also denied. I would like to think this was not common practice among... read more

We opened a Cash Plus Account and now cannot access our money. We are getting the run around and were told that no one in customer service can help us with that account. It is very frustrating. They have no problem taking your money, but don't expect to have any access to it once you do that. I would recommend picking another institution for your investment needs. We are going to close our accounts as soon as we can get access to them.

Vanguard manages my old companies 401K fund. I am retired and wanted to take a $95K withdrawal from the account, a lot of money. Requested on Nov. 16. On Nov. 24, they informed me that the transfers to my savings account had been rejected. They then said they would mail me a check. It is Dec. 5 and still no check. Three customer service rep conversations along the way, all saying "the check is in the mail". I asked if there wasn't an overnight fee they could charge or could they wire the money to my bank. Have been told that... read more

My biggest mistake was going with vanguard brokerage. Thought I try to get a better return, I did not! After telling the invest manager exactly what I wanted, he proceeded to do what they felt I wanted. In the last two years I’ve lost 6% of my investments. After looking through other vanguard funds it looked like my manager pick just the ones that lost money. I’m willing to ride for a short time, mainly because the hassle I’m expecting to get when I leave.
