Pros

Good work/life balance, fellow colleagues are great, benefits are somewhat decent. Parking garage is there for snow days. That's really about it...

Cons

I firmly believe Bill McNabb has destroyed Vanguard's reputation. What was once one of the best investment firms to work for us now a joke. The pay is near insulting and the ones who move up in the company are the brainless yes men who live to brown nose upper management. I hear stories of Bogle and the emphasis on the crew but now it's all about cutting costs and management feeding us lies of how changes to grade levels are a benefit (it's not. From employees who already are not getting paid enough, you're taking away even more. Vanguard has become the Walmart of the financial industry and I suggest you stay away and find something better.
