Pros

• Half-day Fridays • Great 401k match • Big name looks good on your resume • In general, people are nice

Cons

*can only speak for the creative department, other departments may be better* • Leadership is a joke -- they let slackers get away with minimal work and overwork people who are good at their jobs. If you provide thoughtful work, you will be given more and more responsibilities while slackers literally go MISSING for days. Unfortunately even "good" managers are surpassed under this leadership, so even if you love your boss, their boss or director will block your career aspirations. • Minimal career trajectory -- unless you're a traditional art director working on "big" campaigns, there's little to no career trajectory for you. You can lead processes, teams, do work that provides BILLIONS of revenue to the company but you'll always be seen as a pixel pusher that should work under an old and outdated art director. (Oh, and when you finally leave, only then will they elevate your role to manager or split it into 2 roles because they realize you do so much.) • Boys Club Culture –- there is a boy's club culture that stems all the way from the president Doug and onto the VPs. This culture is about who's "cool" (do you skate? do you surf? are you a bro?) and not about who takes their work and deadlines seriously.

-PAY SUCKS -No commision, next weeks hours is based on how you ranked the previous week but is capped at 20 hours a week -Usually limited to 4.5 hour shifts -Discount at other VF Family brands such as the North Face is a hassle -Even with a 50% off discount, most of us can barely afford our own products with the low pay and low hours -Did I mention the pay sucks?
