Pros

Career opportunities are definitely one of the best reasons to work at Vanguard. Management is very concerned with having the right people in the right job and they therefore are interested in getting you to a position that you'll be happy and satisfied with. New opportunities open very frequently as employees rotate to new departments and areas.

Cons

Compensation is often a complaint heard from many employees and the truth is that when you are the "lost cost provider" of mutual funds, you've got to keep a tight lid on spending. It's important to realize that while the salaries are smaller relative to the rest of the industry, the overall benefits should weigh just as heavily for most people (healthcare, profit sharing plan, education reimbursement, bonuses, company prestige, advancement opportunity, etc.)

Pros

Good benefits package. It is similiar in nature to other no-load fund company packages. Overall the organization has hired quality people who enjoy working as I have known others who worked at the organization, left and returned. I guess the grass isn't always greener on the otherside. I feel you have opportunity to work with a very good organization with lots more market share to be gained.

Cons

Limited locations throughout the country as there are only 3 locations to work from either in the frozen northeast or the scorching hot of the southwest. Nothing like diversification.
