Vanguard vs BB

I'm a rising junior at a Target, and I've decided I want to go into finance. I have a very useful contact at Vanguard Group- and it's almost guaranteed I could get their internship next summer. Though I was considering M&A at a BB as a career, what are the benefits of working for an Asset Management firm such as Vanguard? Also, what do the salaries, bonuses, hours and long-term opps look like?

Thanks!
