Pros
Vanguard is ideal for two types of individuals. Those who are looking at building up their resumes, and those looking for a 2nd career (i.e. retired). This is very obvious by the awards Vanguard boasts they have won. One of the biggest benefits of working for Vanguard is similar to working for the Government, job security and benefits. You definitely will never go hungry working for Vanguard, but the pay is right on par...Literally. They try to purposely stay right on the mean.
Cons
VERY CORPORATE. You definitely need to play the network game and even if you do accomplish this, you will hit a ceiling fairly quickly unless you do something drastic like go and get your MBA from Harvard.
