awesome people, discount, radical self expression.

Everyone is on drugs, there's no drug tests, if you're looking to move up to an asm at age 20 be prepared for age discrimination.

Pros

Vans culture and heritage is amazing. Fantastic mix of "family owned" vibe but with perks of a large corporation. CEO is a top notch leader. Travel opportunities are great.

Cons

Divisions are drastically different. Footwear and marketing offer dream opportunities. Apparel is a nightmare and Retail is hit or miss. The larger this company gets, the more corporate and political it feels.
