Vans reviews

Where to start...Lets just say that unless you are a store manager, you will get no hours with terrible pay yet be expected to do all of the work. Everything about their policies and technology is terribly outdated. Do yourself a favor and explore other options...If I could give less than 1 star, I absolutely would.

I have a really kind, accommodating, hard-working manager who doesn't just sit around and expect everyone else to work, but just like any other retail job, I can imagine having a manager who didn't care about his/her employees would make working there awful. One thing that really confused me was that aside from the manager and four assistant managers, there were nine sales associates/cashiers (after a few people left to go back to school), and we were only getting a shift or two every week, but during the seasonal hiring time, they hired nine more completely new people. It seems like a smaller team of people who work more often would be better at their job than a huge team of people who come in so rarely that they don't have the opportunity to become better at their job. I'm rating the work/life balance lower because I honestly have too much life and not enough work to balance it out. They don't do any sort of commission. I would personally enjoy a little bit of friendly competition.
