      Good place to start your career. Vanguard is a conservative company who pays conservatively.

      Pros

      Vanguard had a lot of benefits and now that I am in another company the benefits were not that bad (except for salary and health). Other companies have only 2 weeks of vacation and charge even more for health benefits. There are a lot of opportunities to grow professionally through Vanguard, by taking Vanguard coursework or even get involved.

      Cons

      the vanguard culture is that everyone is "nice' to each other, however there are times when employees are not respected and earn what they deserve.

      Get your experience here, then go elsewhere to get paid what you're worth

      Pros

      Vanguard invests heavily in employee development - they provide extensive training and encourage employees to invest in themselves through higher education reimbursement programs. In addition, there are a myriad of different job opportunities since it is such a large organization - even opportunity to transfer to another site.

      Cons

      Efficiency is certainly not a strong suit at Vanguard - in addition, the pay ranges are markedly low compared to competitors. It can be quite frustrating to work very hard and not see a big difference between your own salary and someone who works half as hard. There is a lot of "dead weight" holding the company back.

      Pros

      Vanguard is one of the few companies where you can really feel confident about your job stability. The company doesn't hire indiscriminately and the recruiting process is controlled tightly by senior management. This makes Vanguard an incredibly efficient company. It's business is thriving and is really one of the best in the industry. Also diversity is very valued and the work culture is very disciplined and comfortable. The benefits package is definitely one of the best in the industry. Overall, it's perfect for those who are in mid career stage and who want stability, family work-life balance and also to people who want to retire.

      Cons

      It doesn't help much for a fresh college graduates. The downside of stability is that there is very little turnover which means career growth is incredibly challenging.
