Pros

If you're into the skate/surf lifestyle and are a hard worker, Vans is a great place to be. Customer Service and Product Knowledge is KEY.

Cons

Depending on the store you work at and your performance your hours will probably be low. If you're looking for a full time job (40 hours a week) i'd re consider working for Vans unless they explicitly hire you full time.

Pros

THE DISCOUNT. 50% off. 30% off sale. If you work full time you can take advantage of their benefits. I worked part time, and you work a competitive like job but don't get paid commission (but it's good because it's fun).

Cons

It's retail so the hours are late, and you work weekends, but I don't mind that, but I know some people don't. The job is the best there really are no cons except lacking in hours during off season.
