Pros

Great coworkers. Great environment. The way I dress in public fit well with Van's culture. Best store manager (boss) I've ever had. Lenient hours based on location and boss.

Cons

Bad pay, would rather hire outside of company than promote internally. Cheated me with pay, especially with the last pay check. Tell you that you can make mistakes but punish severely. HR is terrible. Hire unemotional and rude people at GM level. Have too much concern on payroll, especially being a multi billion dollar company.

The company itself is awesome. Steve Vandoren came in multiple times. Super nice guy. Great company.

Pros

Fun and upbeat atmosphere, with staff and customers alike. Great employee discounts too.. Vans has been an innovator of products for alternative sports enthusiasts for decades- enough said.

Cons

The cons are just the usual tedious tasks that come with many retail jobs... However: You will become a pro at lacing shoes though!
