Pros

The atmosphere is very neat and exciting. Most everyone that gets employed loves the brand and are excited to be there so it's good!

Cons

You are expected to get so much done in so little time w/ few extra labor hours. For the level of customer service that is expected of us, the compensation in comparison is low.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers Great discount Can be a really fun job at times Flexible dress code: you just have to wear a Vans shirt and shoes. You get to learn a lot about the of the company and its heritage.

Cons

Pay was nonnegotiable at minimum wage. There are not enough hours available. Somewhat strict availability agreement that makes having another job difficult.
