Used to be fun.

Pros

Good discount. Used to have a laid back skate shop vibe.

Cons

I had a lot of fun working at my store up until about 2 months ago. My store manager has been coming down on us about every last detail and is starting to enforce policies that he made up. If we don't follow them we get our hours cut and threatened with write-ups. For MADE UP policies. He even said "I don't want my associates to be comfortable, I want them to be bold. If they're not bold, they're gone." There are two floor supervisors who work really hard to keep the associates happy and having fun but as soon our store manager found out about it they also had their hours cut and were threatened with write-ups. And now every associate has been told to keep tabs on the supervisors and make sure they are following the manager's policies. All because they were trying to keep us happy. I was one of the few associates who were given the opportunity to move up as I asked one of those supervisors if it was worth it and he said that I would just be as unhappy as they were. Over half of the team has talked about quitting in the next month because of how terrible it's become.

Pros

The general manager is extremely awesome and very helpful. It's a very comfortable environment to be at. The job is very easy and there's a good balance between work and play

Cons

Vans only offers full-time jobs to the general manager, assistant manager, and stockroom manager. Sometimes there's a lot of schedule cuts, which means not a lot of hours.

Pros

Great team, great managers. I love the brand and what it represents. Vans feels like home. And the job is pretty easy and its a great experience.

Cons

Not too many hours for associates and too many employees. They should have less employees so there's more hours to give.
