📣 Clark Criticizes Vanguard’s Customer Service
“Vanguard is going through a mid-life crisis. When you’re a company, you can’t just go buy a sports car and get over it. They’re isolated in Virginia farm country. And change is tough when you have all this money coming in.
“They’ve gotten so big they’re excelling at customer no-service. Breaking through the head of people at Vanguard is like trying to fire at the Death Star in the first Star Wars movie and trying to have any impact. It just bounces off the surface.”
