Pros

They paid on time and the check always cleared.

Cons

Very unprofessional staff. Catty behavior. Constant talking about one another behind each other's back. Very mean spirited people toward each other. Dirty filthy work environment. People would leave food out for days on the table, unwashed coffee pots left to collect mold. They use permatemps to avoid paying benefits. Contractors work 3 years then are cut loose.. If a contractor/TEMP leaves before the 3 years Vanguard has the nerve to be upset..

Pros

They do a great job on entry level positions, such as grooming new employees on the phones to service customers, assist employees with finanical certifications, training employees through Vanguard University, etc. A great first job for any recent college graduate. Decent salary , good benefits.

Cons

No nosense founder of the company known for challenging the wall street establishment,and original thinking was forced out of his own company. He was a terrific asset.

Pros

Good benefits and opportunity for time off. Good work life balance is a company value Company Integrity They respect their clients and are not driven by commissions

Cons

Like nearly all big companies very inflexable. Don't expect quick decisions If you chose the wrong career path in most cases you have to leave the company to change In house computer systems/software are not first class Too many unimportant job metric's are given importance and measured which the client could care less about. But this happens at most employer's these days..
