Pros

They actually care about their employees. From the benefits to the paid time off, there are so many perks to working for this company. The possibilities are endless. You will enjoy the environment. The office is also exceptional.

Cons

I have yet to find anything that I don't like. The testing process for the Series 6 should have been first, but there were a few folks that didn't even pass. I thought that everyone should have to take the Series 7.

Pros

From management down, the Vanguard culture is everywhere. Everyone is friendly and client focused. Management is willing to listen to ideas and is able to take constructive criticism. Improvements can be driven by the employees.

Cons

The biggest downside to working at Vanguard is the pay. Since we are a low cost provider of services, there are no commissions. Based on the amount of work we do, we are probably paid 20-30% less than we should be. However, Vanguard is only really suitable as the secondary income in a two income family for its location along the Main Line.
