Pros

Great place to start a career in the mutual fund industry. Good training and work life balance. Company structure assist to create loyalty to the client and crew members as a whole.

Cons

Lower pay and at times slow to react to market changes. Too many employees that are a drain on the company, that do not work hard enough, and are there to collect a paycheck. Unfortunately, this does not leave enough to reward those that do work hard.

Pros

Lots of resources to learn the industry. Good "off-the-ground" training.

Cons

Direct compensation is not very competative. Benefit is in work life balance and lower level of responsibility. Vanguard sells "the total package" which includes compensation, benefits, profit sharing, etc. Again, not highly competative but not the bottom of the barrel either.

Pros

Great benefits, good work atmosphere, most folks put in an honest day's worth of work

Cons

Benefits constantly being reworked and getting more expensive, compensation is below average. There are pockets of nepotism all over the place, senior managers in IT have setup mini fiefdoms and sometimes seem to waste time battling each other's 'turfs'.
