      Pros

      Vanguard is the number one in the mutual fund industry and their dedication to their clients is unparalleled. Honestly, I am impressed with the commitment to stand by clients. I'm proud to say that I'm a crew member of Vanguard.

      Cons

      Slow moving; political; can be perceived as outdated; 'niceness' is overplayed; lack of offices throughout the U.S.; base salary is lower than some competitors (overall compensation is competitive)

      Pros

      The company is owned by its clients, which is a great business model and makes it unique from other investment companies. It allows the company to keep costs down. Everybody is focused on doing what is right for the client. That reduces internal competition between organizations and reduces conflicts of interest between profitability and the client's best interests.

      Cons

      Vanguard's strength also becomes its opportunity. The unique structure also makes it somewhat insulated with a "we're better mindset." In many respects, Vanguard is better. But to have a good career, you need to fit in. The leadership is patriarchal. Leadership seems open to ideas but not much debate or feedback.
