Pros
Sometimes they serve you lunch but only after forcing you to work through most of it. Health insurance is pretty good. Make sure to spend all your flex bank health reimbursement arragement dollars before you depart for greener pastures
Cons
Evert new hire I saw walk past my desk, I cringed so hard. Most people will never succeed at Vanguard. Not because they aren't intelligent, savvy, assertive individuals BUT because most people are ACTIVELY set up to fail by management at this company. It could be because they are threatened by your background. Maybe you accidently said something out of character at a meeting. Maybe you've just been here too long and management wants you out. Maybe it's nothing... Management does not look or wait for some deep grievance from you against the company to treat you like trash. Do you remember Milton from Office Space? If you are not on the very short "talent list", you will suffer like he did. You will be treated like you don't exist. Your promotions will never come. Your facilities and reimbursement requests will be ignored. You likely will never get a raise. Management will lie and say whatever they want to keep you here and keep you mildly productive. Do not trust them. Do not be naive. It is more than likely you have been blacklisted by someone or you have been deemed a target to manage out of the firm. I watched countless overqualified, hardworking people have their souls crushed by their cruel games. They all left EVENTUALLY after they finally got it. Mgmt does not care about you or your family. Only basis points. Pay is laughable for the stress levels and high school politics.
