      Do whatever it takes to leave

      Pros

      Pretty much entirely comprised of young people, so a great job right out of school since your colleagues and contacts are all people your age. Also, they will sponsor you for your licenses

      Cons

      They pay barely enough to live on. Work is incredibly boring and unchallenging, especially at the entry level. Opportunities for growth are basically nonexistent. The micromanagement that goes is no ridiculous and excessive it just starts to become funny. A word of advice to any prospective applicants or current employees is this: once you get your licenses, do whatever it takes to leave

      Pros

      This is a great company that has endless possibilities for advancement. Even in a poor economy there is little fear of downsizing. The company is buying other companies, and expanded

      Cons

      There are some negative feelings about Vanguard in the financial industry. These are opinions that have stuck around from the days gone bye. There were some poor decisions made in the past, and those have stuck with the company now, even though things now are much better

      All considered, a great place to work!

      Pros

      Vanguard is a great place to work for a lot of reasons. First, the company is ethical and treats its employees and customers the right way. The management team is very competent and the work life balance is pretty good.

      Cons

      The main disadvantage is the pay for performance philosophy, or lack thereof . They are a very conservative company by nature and that extends to compensation. There isn't a lot of motivation to do a truly great job.
