Pros
Some of the best reasons to work for Vanguard would be the name to put on your resume and the benefits. Management does a good job of facilitating your interest in career opportunities. I believe that the training is also another part of Vanguard's complete package that makes this employer a viable option for job seekers. It's an easy transition from college to this corporate environment because the majority of what you deal with when you first arrive is the phones group and that consists of mainly young professionals. The corporate environment is quite conservative so it helps to maintain a very classy reputation.
Cons
The phones are a trap for some people. When you first apply to Vanguard they make it seem like the phones position really only applies for the first year but once you get into your position management seems to hold onto associates for 2-3 years. Vanguard is a big company so it's hard to be recognized in any division. I feel as though some of the projects they have for their associates aren't researched thoroughly enough before they are rolled out. Vanguard is in need of some corporate weeding and by that I mean to say that some of the management they have within the company aren't fulfilling their job responsibilities and only have their position because of their number of years worked.
