Vans reviews

The problem is almost everything else. The work load is either literally nothing to do one week and then ridiculously over worked the next few you are expected to work consul markdowns and shipment all while helping customers and running drag. The pay is not very good especially not for the work load we are given. We have a horrible SM who is constantly lying to our DM and does nothing but sit all day. And as a Sales Lead I am expected to be available weekends and three weekdays a week but only given 15 hours tops and am now having my job threatened because I had to take a second job just to make ends meet. It’s quite frankly ridiculous. I thought vans would be a company I could be proud of. But it turns out it’s all corporate and doesn’t actually stand for the authenticity and diversity that it claims.

I feel like everyone tread on tip toes at Vans, speaking behind closed doors. Since management changed, there was a a loss of true transparency, authentic community and family as a company, I felt it has lost a sense of authenticity as a Vans family - and was driven more by sales and revenue than relationships & culture. Managers were placed in roles without proper training and don't quite really care about the growth of the person they are being managed - it was more out of "stay out of trouble". Lack of opportunity to grow and scale the company ladder. You will have to be there for a decade.
