Business Outlook

Pros

Vans, provides a great employee discount but also provides great work experience. I have worked for many companies similar to Vans and have never loved a job as much as I love Vans. The atmosphere is always positive and very motivating. The Customer base is even better. Customers come in and know what they want. The few who dont know that brand fall in love with it very quickly

Cons

There is a lot of paper work. like any retail job, Vans does its best to balance out the everything. I wouldn't say there is much in terms of cons for Vans.
