Great co-workers, that's about it

Backstock supervisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers were amazing. Discount was great. Easy to get days off

Cons

Horrible pay. As a supervisor I had less than 20 hours a week and the full time employees were coerced into giving up on hours routinely. I only made 1.50 more than a normal associate, yet had far more responsibilities. Breaks were unheard of and working overtime off-the-clock wasn't uncommon just to get the DAILY DUTIES done.

Business Outlook

Pros

Vans had a great work environment, the job was relatively easy, they gave great discounts, and flexible hours for part time employees.

Cons

The only major down side to working here was the low pay and low hours. Furthermore, depending on the store you can either be extremely busy or extremely bored.
