Pros

Working somewhere you can teach and excell

Cons

Store manager and assistant manager were sleeping together. Found out by a associate who notified me. They then tried to fire me and mitigate the whole situation. Other managers fought in the store with spouses and smoked outside on breaks

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.
