Pros
Benefits are fantastic and could retain talent if management wasn't so bad. 401k benefits are second to few. Career opportunities are available if you do not speak out about the very real issues impacting the clients and organizations
Cons
I have never seen a company lose more TOP talent than I have seen Vanguard lose in the past year. When I say top talent I mean double digit tenure and senior advisors/administrators who simply could no longer tolerate a mid 20year old micro manager whose insecurities and self serving approach prove their inability to lead. These managers simply do an excellent job "talking the talk" . Work life balance is non-existent IF you want to meet work load expectations. Even self driven motivated top tier professionals putting in 50+ hours per week cannot keep up. Flagship has become nothing more than a sweat shop call center with little to no engagement. The stress can be felt throughout the floor. Resources / business partners / technology and processing is worse than the press they are getting. It is a nightmare if you are client facing.
