      Pros

      Stability - Vanguard has a reputation of never firing or laying off its employees. They will not fire you, but they will make your 37.5 hour work week HELL until you quit.

      Cons

      United Way.....its never ending, donate, donate, donate with your 2% yearly review raises it is impossible to see why you should give away your hard earned money each year. If not United Way, its gift-giving to kids during the Christmas holidays, donating your "galley" voucher, or gathering of canned goods. The weird thing is that crewmemers gave, gave, gave because management pretended not to be watching, lol.

      Pros

      Little work for decent money. Most Fridays, no one does any work at all, they just socialize. (I'm glad I'm not a shareholder trying to get service on a Friday.) They let you go early on the Friday before a holiday and sometimes have casual days. The rest of the time guys wear a tie and women are all dressed up with nowhere to go. If you like working in a newish warren of cubicles, you'll love this place. Just follow the rules and you'll be fine.

      Cons

      This used to be a great place to work when Jack Bogle was running the company. Since then, it has become a bureaucratic maze full of self important managers who don't have a clue. The company is skating on the ludicrously positive press that it always seems to get.

      Pros

      The job security makes people want to stay their whole careers.

      Cons

      Job mobility almost seems to be based more on seniority than on merit.
