      Pros

      Vanguard is a great place to work for a lot of reasons. First, the company is ethical and treats its employees and customers the right way. The management team is very competent and the work life balance is pretty good.

      Cons

      The main disadvantage is the pay for performance philosophy, or lack thereof . They are a very conservative company by nature and that extends to compensation. There isn't a lot of motivation to do a truly great job.

      Above average retirement, health, and worklife benefits. Below average pay. Great place to start though...

      Pros

      Great opportunities for advancement. Management is very willing to help you explore different career paths. The company and crew are very honest and ethical. The retirement package is very good. Compensation is definitely structured to reward those who are in it for the "long term" which aligns well with its investment philosophy.

      Cons

      The cash compensation is low and not very competitive.

      Consider the whole package - ethical, supportive, work-life balance for less-than-average pay

      Pros

      Ethical place to work where you can do what's right for the client. You don't have to push a product or service, you just find out what the client needs and provide it.

      Cons

      As a white male, it's hard to get ahead. I recognize the value of diversity, and so does senior management. The minorities get the benefit of the doubt - if they can do the job, they get the promotion. I have to prove that I am a far better candidate to get the promotion. The bar is different.
