Pros
-401k match is ok/ but 4% match and 10% match of your pay a quarter isn't much when your pay is squat. -Starting point for those that come in unlicensed
Cons
-This is not a "real" investment company/ investment job. It is a phone job. You're a live body making sure their are not too many people waiting. The phrase "Wal-Mart of investing" is thrown around a lot concerning Vanguard, and it's true. They will pay you peanuts compared to the competition, but when trying to leave the competition either hires you out of pity because they started their too or you get a "Vanguard, that's nice" since the name holds no weight with the "big boys" -Every job is the same with a different title. It doesn't matter if your a client relationship associate, dual hat, or in a specialized division.. you're there to get the client off the line as fast as possible. -Shortened lunches are now the norm. No one wants your "free" lunches when you supply them from the Sodexo cafeteria. -Employees are treated as cattle, unless you're ethnicity is not-white or you're a girl. If you're both you'll be a shining star.
