Pros

Overall a decent and ethical company. Good benefits (401K, medical/dental/vision insurance, etc) So far there is no layoff so jobs are stable.

Cons

There are not a lot of opportunities to move up or move around. Stress too much about initiatives/volunteer work outside of day to day job. Work-life balance really depends on who your managers are.

Pros

Vanguard stands by its crew, they never layoff people when times are tough. As a company in an industry with increaded regulation and tightening margins they overall create a positive environment.

Cons

Vanguard has migrated from an atypical employer to a typical employer over the past 2-3 years. Upper management titled Principals (officers) are generally either 20+yr vets that were in the right place at the right time and the company grew up around them. Less tenured principals are of a more airified class. They feel empowered by their fiefdom.
