Pros

The environment is very relaxed and casual. Most of the customers are long time vans fanatics which makes the job fun and exciting. The team gets along really well, more like a family. Fun job!

Cons

Lately, there has been a lot of changes with the management which takes a toll on the team. Also, not scheduled enough hours, about 10 hours/week.

Pros

awesome 50% discount. Lots of cool people to meet. Great atmosphere. Perfect first job experience.

Cons

very part time, sales associates usually work 4-10hrs a week. Part time managers are lucky to get 20hrs. Very hard to move up since there are rarely any open positions. Pay increases are once a year even though you get 4 reviews a year.
