Pros
You won't beat their benefit package, and they always seem to be hiring (more on that later) so it's good for starting/ending a career
Cons
-Management doesn't give a rat's ass whether you're talented, they care whether or not you're willing to drink the Kool-aid and be a cheerleader for the brand -Your entire 'career' there depends on 1) getting a popular team leader/manager, and 2) getting said team leader/manager to like you; your metrics aren't worth the paper they're printed on (after they yell at you for using the paper) when it comes to raises/promotions/rewards/ect. -Some departments feel more like a play pen than a business--we spend more time doing salsa contests than doing our jobs -The implied threats that come with their campaigns for their chosen causes are downright offensive--they make it clear that they're keeping track of who's throwing in on their campaigns and who isn't Basically, this is the kind of place that is something of a revolving door....they're always hiring because most people invariably catch on that they're spinning their wheels here after more than a year or so, or just simply refuse to drink the Kool-aid and get drummed out (or made to understand that there's no future there so they leave on their own). Ultimately, Vanguard has to decide whether or not it cares enough to be a great company again, and if it does, it's going to have to change a lot of things from the bottom up.
