      Pros

      Vanguard's benefits are incredibly competitive, and they are available from day one on the job. The people who I work with are so friendly and helpful, which makes the experience positive.

      Cons

      Career progression within Vanguard is rather difficult. I've applied for multiple positions within the company, but have found it difficult to even make a lateral move to a different department. The salaries are alright, but they are not exactly competitive with other comparable jobs that I've seen in the industry.

      Calling All SEMI-SKILLED Labor!!! Vanguard doesn't lay anyone off, they just need warm bodies

      Pros

      - They'll teach you finance, actually this is a Con. - If you're a girl they'll hire you - Flexible schedules - Lots of opportunities for OT, - IF you have a competent team leader(there's about 1 per floor) lots of opportunities to advance your career.

      Cons

      Since Vanguard doesn't lay people off they accumulate worthless employees who without a doubt have been fired from their previous employer. The board that runs the company are masters of paying their employees less but offering lots of benefits that are all tax breaks on the bottom line for the company. Therefore they can pay their employees less and say their total benefits package is one of the best. They could teach you finance, HA if the trainers knew the difference between live stock and preferred stock. If you don't know anything about finance the trainers appear to have a wreath of knowledge but if you know what the Wall Street Journal is the trainers are inept. The team leaders come from supervisor backgrounds such as, hotel front desk, banquet preparation, Kohls, amature skier, golf pro, gov clerk, and Vanguard accelerated Development program, these VADP kids are all girls psych, poly sci, communication, and ASU laughable BIS degree (2 minors makes a major). Did I mention anyone with a business background nope. Good luck finding a knowledgable TL.
