Pros

The people I worked with were great, and so were the people that came in to shop. The Vans culture is inspiring, the hours were flexible, and the discount was great

Cons

The only real downsides I can think of is the pay, and the hours you get, depending on how many members you have on your team. Unless you're working full time, don't expect to work more than 4-5 hours a day or make more than $9 an hour. It's a starting position.
