      Pros

      The discount, the culture, the music, the energy, a great clothing brand that lets you be who you are. Keeping employees accountable and responsible for opportunities for improvement or their successes.

      Cons

      Tight payroll, with limited staff to achieve goals and tasks. Inspiring teenagers who work minimum wage to succeed was a challenge. Working full shifts and not able to take a break and eat. How is a store supposed to succeed with just two people on per shift? Also, store and assistant managers had to rotate closing shifts on weekends, the floor sups were not allowed to close, so work/life balance is out the window. Working late shifts then coming back super early the next day for projects or paperwork...being overworked with no help with coverage sets people up for failure.

      Great place where people can have a career

      Pros

      Every manager in the store, and many at the other stores all started as Seasonal Temps. That's pretty rare, and gives you great motivation to move up. I'd still be with them if I wasn't going to school in a city without a Vans store.

      Cons

      Lower pay than most retailers at Lenox, but they make up for it with a great environment that you'll love going to work at, and an incredible discount.
