      Realistic view of Vanguard

      Relationship manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      We have never laid off a single employee. The job expectations provide a consistent work environment (i.e. you know what to expect). There is significant flexibility at the manager level to work the hours that are appropriate for you to best balance you professional and personal lives. Vanguard offers tuition reimbursement. Our 401(k) plan is outstanding. Company match is 100% on the first 4% contributed. The retirement plan contribution is 10% of base pay. There is a year-end bonus structure for exempt employees. Employees will earn a partnership bonus that is calculated as a percentage of base pay for long-term employees or as a set number of shares for newer employees.

      Cons

      Lower pay compared to peer group, low cost structure, always trying to reduce services we provide to customers, limited budgets, corporate culture dominates the environment.

      Low pay, mundane job

      Client service representative

      Pros

      Vanguard has not laid anyone off in recent history, so your job is very stable.

      Cons

      Don't think you'll ever make the big bucks here. They have a decent 401k program and partnership, but nothing to brag about. The jobs there are all on the phone which can get very repetitive day in day out. A college degree is not required to succeed here, but Vanguard says it's a must. They need to compensate their employees accordingly and pay them avg salaries rather than low ball $30's for entry level.
