Pros

Steady Paycheck and a you can get a large amount of PTO after a few years.

Cons

The pay is horrible. This year they were handing out alot of Further Development Needed ratings at year-end like it was candy. Even though most of the people met their department expectations. And a FDN rating means no bonus. In my opinion this is their way to get people to quit so they can continue to brag that they don't lay people off. Every year they expect more and more out if it's crew but the compensation decreases. For example health care, merit increases, bonuses. This play just breeds massive depression. They lie to you from day one of your employment. Do not work here. After 5 years you will realize you have wasted your time.

Pros

Young atmosphere, most new hires coming straight out of college. Experience not a must.

Cons

Limited mobility. Management positions are not really manger positions. It's an atmosphere of everyone takes control of there own career. Make sure you like to volunteer, constantly be solicited for money for united way and aren't scared of needles because I was always asked to give blood 4x a year to get an hour off the phones.

Pros

Stellar reputation and having Vanguard on your resume will get you interviews when you are ready to get a career somewhere else. Low stress once you understand the regime. quality technology and systems.

Cons

low pay, along the lines of 20% less than comparable companies. you will almost always be tethered to a phone job. Management doesnt care about you, your hopes, or aspirations.
