Pros

Training & Development Program Customer Service Philosophy (in practice) is the BEST in actual retail field Great Discounts on VANS products (Associate love it)

Cons

Associates become a sock-pusher or a Vans lover. Pay rate does not match the effort and pressures placed on Management Staff. DMs are not aware of their stores challenges and daily basis reality , but highly "Van Doren Philosophy brain-washed. Dont' just do the talk...walk the walk. [Prepare to be "never enough' ] real statement
