      Low pay, mundane job

      Pros

      Vanguard has not laid anyone off in recent history, so your job is very stable.

      Cons

      Don't think you'll ever make the big bucks here. They have a decent 401k program and partnership, but nothing to brag about. The jobs there are all on the phone which can get very repetitive day in day out. A college degree is not required to succeed here, but Vanguard says it's a must. They need to compensate their employees accordingly and pay them avg salaries rather than low ball $30's for entry level.

      Pros

      There is a good benefits package; 401k, Health benefits, and vacation days. When comparing to other employers it seems that my package always stacks up well. It's also a job where you can leave the work at work for the most part. There is not a high pressure environment to sell anything.

      Cons

      Low starting and base salary. It is a company that is very set in its ways and does not always listen to rational reasoning when presented with good ideas.

      Pros

      The benefits package is one of the best that's available. Even with the cuts in the recent years, it still is better than monst companies. The profit sharing plan is very good - if you have the right amount of time in. Most managers are very fair in the way they treat their employees and genuinely want their workers to succeed.

      Cons

      There is a lot of politcs - more so than any company that I have worked at before. As with any company, when the economy begins to go down hill so does the feedback. Some managers will look for anything negative no matter how small just so that there is something to put in your year end.
