Pros

10% 401k payment vested over 6 years if you can survive. They offer benefits including on site doctors office. Coworkers are amazing if they stay long enough to get to know them.

Cons

Where to start. A lot of the reviews on here sum up the cons pretty well. The leadership at Vanguard is sub-par. The pay is low if not close to a joke. Benefits are average. They can also never seem to be fully staffed.

Pros

Great health care benefits, very generous PTO/ maternity/ paternity leave

Cons

The company says that they want people to share their opinions and voice concerns when they see things that are going wrong. However, if you are female and do so, you will get a reputation as being "unprofessional", "shrill", "not a team player", etc, and it will hold you back in your career. Being outspoken and female will ensure that you do not get promoted and that your managers will sabotage any effort for you to move forward in the company.

Pros

Great name, great benefits, great bonuses, they take care of you.

Cons

There's a development shift going on so no one knows exactly what their job is and people who don't deserve it are now managers. There is gossip between managers about the leads of departments. It's not good when an entry level can hear that on the directors got their job from favoritism. If you don't drink the koolaid, you're out one way or another so just act like they want.
