Pros

It's a great company. Everybody wants to work for Vans and it is such a historic brand. If/when you can get to a management position, you seems more worth your time. Pay isn't great but definitely better than sales associate. Everyone you work with tends to be really great

Cons

Sales associates are not paid much and get very few hours when first hired. There's a lot to deal with as a manager that seems like it isn't worth the pay.

Pros

They were super flexible with you and very chill. The discount was also super nice and you could also use it at the sister locations.

Cons

Sometimes management would turn a blind eye when you would need help, especially when starting

Pros

The environment is absolutely amazing with my coworkers and they are always supportive. Any issues that arise are met with a high level of humanity - on the base level of the people I work with, because I haven't really delt with corporate. It genuinely feels nice to work here when you have a team like mine. The culture of skating is absolutely amazing to learn about at VANs and be a part of as well. I like the history behind some of the shoes, but that's probably just because I'm a history nerd.

Cons

Part time doesn't get many hours or enough pay to survive off of. However, you can't become full time unless you get a higher position. Sadly, they are incredibly hard to get, due to the fact people seem to stay with VANs if they get that promotion, just because it seems to be great to work here once you have that higher position. As well as the usual shift is 4 hours, and sometimes you only get one shift a week. It's just incredibly hard to stay here when it can't even give you enough money on your paychecks to get a small amount of groceries that'll last one person two weeks.
