Pros

Friendly people, friendly service, very laid-back management style.

Cons

It is a mediocre company. It does not strive to take on more risks and be more competitive in the financial industry.

Pros

Great training and learning environment. Benefits are great; 401k and insurance.

Cons

Constantly being monitored on the phones. The pay is mediocre at best. Job gets to be repetitive and not a challenge. Movement within the company is usually lateral and doing the same job: on the phone just slightly different information being regurgitated.

Pros

It's an industry leading mutual fund giant. Vanguard is well respected not only by members of the financial services field, but by individual investors world wide. The dedication to ethics and prudent long term investings makes for a reliable company.

Cons

I was hired during the wrong period, as soon as I was up for a promotion out of my current position the markets crashed. During times of economic expansion, I heard that it was much easier to move up in the company. Since the recession started, there's been no movement, though there haven't been any layoffs either...
