Amazing environment, bad hours.

Pros

50% regular discount. 30% off sale items. 20% off skate equipment. They are #1 on having a chill environment and almost everyone you will work with will be super nice and friendly because that's their demographic for hiring. The managers are extremely flexible with the times you tell them you cant work or getting certain dates off.

Cons

They have "on-calls" on your schedule and recently added a new type of on-call. One on call is when it is in your schedule but you have to call within 2 hours to check if you will go in. The other type of on-call is when they call you within 30 minutes to tell you to go in or not. Don't get this job if you do not have a reliable source of transportation or if you have too much school work. Get it in the summer.

Pros

Great discount. Nice dress code. Personally I was treated very well by upper management. The company likes to promote from within, and I took advantage of that.

Cons

Pay is not great. I worked in an outlet where we were always understaffed but always had a lot to do to take care of the store. There's always bad customers in retail, and Vans is no exception. Outlets always had very little payroll, and at most we would have three people watching the sales floor, making it easy for someone to sneak out with a new pair of shoes on their feet.

Pros

Nice Discount Cool fellow associates Good Idea on how they want the company to actually run.

Cons

No hours No Communication between associates and Managers. No security that you are actually employed there how you thought you where. Rude managers. I was hired in March the last day I actually got a work day was in May and now in late September I'm told my temp positions is up... not cool why didn't they just let me go earlier and not waste my time? I was faithful to the company.
