      Some good, some bad

      Pros

      The benefits are great, the campus is beautiful. It's a pretigious company so it will look good on the resume.

      Cons

      Vanguard uses an antiquated DOS computer system (if you can believe that) for the management of client accounts which creates all kinds of complexities and problems for staff including errors. The salaries are very low - especially considering the work involved. The workload is crushing and most of the people that I work with have to work through their lunches just to keep from falling behind. Overtime is discouraged, yet staff are expected to keep up with production quotas that are excessive (hence people having to work through their lunches).

      Vanguard isn't for hardworkers

      Senior client relationship associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They give you knowledge for the industry and skills. You get exposed to several types of investment tools and products. They have a good location to work at as well.

      Cons

      The middle management is unethical and incompetent. They don't protect confidentiality at all. Vanguard isn't a place for hardworkers, it's more a place for people who want to be a clone and yes man. The pay isn't that great and there is little work life balance. They expect you to give up a lot of your free time to work overtime for them. Middle management is absolutely unethical. They keep nothing confidential and don't welcome feedback at all.
