Pros

Good place to work for young and fresh graduate. Newly hires already clamoring for next promotion. Good benefits.

Cons

You don't drink their kool aid, your'e done. Too much backstabbing. Worst working environment I ever have.Company values does not match with the employees they hire on the floor(the department I worked was demoralizing). Tenured employees need retraining.Arrogant tenured employees. Zero flexibility at all. Stressfull just to schedule time off alone.

Pros

Good benefits package although that has declined every year that I have been there. Good 401 Match... also the 10% that they contribute to your pension on top of your 401k is huge More then ample time off. Great employees to work with (non Managers). I met quite a few good friends there Training is pretty good Great name to have on a resume. On my search prospective employers liked my 5 years at Vanguard

Cons

-The pay is god awful. I left there making $48,000 as an exempt employ and left for a job making $68,000 with overtime. -Career progression is non existent. -Vanguard got rid of their Partnership program where nearly everyone took a pay cut and they sold it to us as if we asked for it. -Promoting the culture is more important to advancement then doing a good job is. -It is run much more like a kindergarten then a business. Everything for chili contests to stupid games for the united way -the past 2 years I have worked for 3 Team Leaders all of which were younger woman who had NO EXPERIENCE in the business. Also all were hired without the staff having the opportunity to interview for them.
