      Pros

      Great company to work for. Culture is out of this world. They treat their people with respect and enable those with ability to move up in the organization quickly. They have a great compensation package and are in a great area. My boss there let me have the freedom to explore what I thought was important rather than just tow the company line.

      Cons

      Pay isn't the best. It's about 2/3 of what you'd really want from an investment firm. But that's to be expected as it's a low-cost provider.

      Pros

      Vanguard truly keeps the investor in mind. They will go out of their way to help investors, and it really is top notch. Very good benefits, nice campus and corporate perks, in a good economy lots of room for advancement. Gally is great, they offer nice services that you can have done (oil changes, car detailing, car repairs, dry cleaning, shoe repair). Vanguard University is amazing (voted #6 in terms of quality training out of all companies), great number of paid time off days, shuttle services to all local train stations, can buy SEPTA passes at a discount, pride in working for an investment company which truly values ethics and the well-being of their investors.

      Cons

      LOW PAY. Vanguard is a low cost mutual fund provider (they pass their savings on to the investor), but employee pay is very low. Micro management to the extreme. Every minute, every second of your day MUST be accounted for. Not easy to get paid time off. WAY too much middle management (line managers, team leaders etc). Bonuses are a joke, so are "partnership" payments. You make next to nothing for a base salary and they try to make you feel better by giving more in health / dental / paid time off. Crew's Views surverys are a bunch of lies.

      Pros

      Vanguard is a place where hard work is rewarded and professional growth is strongly encouraged. Overall compensation (pay/benefits) do not get much better. Training is above average to very good. Vanguard holds itself to very high standards and generally meets or exceeds all of these standards.

      Cons

      Base salary is not great but the partnership program and benefits more than make up for this. Depending on the business area, training may leave something to be desired but improvements are constantly being made. Employees are not reprimanded as long as they do nothing "wrong" even if they are detrimental to morale. It seems as though some members of management may give into those who are detrimental to morale in the interest of avoiding conflict.
