Pros
The best thing about Vanguard is the job security even in turbulent market conditions and the ability to have a life outside of the firm. The company had great benefits and prestige about it unmatched in the financial industry due to their ethical treatment of customers.
Cons
While Vanguard treats their customers with respect and dignity this is not always the case with their employees. Raises and promotions were often given based on non-contribution related items such as popularity and school ties. Intelligence had nothing to do with promotions as most of their intelligent employees seemed to leave for other companies once they had some experience under their belts for better positions.
