Do not work for Legal Department

Legal assistant/paralegal

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The company as a whole has great benefits and discounts are good.

Cons

The demanding and unforgiving General Counsel who herself lacks work life balance and also doesn't think her team deserves any semblance of work-life balance, is the worst kind of leader. No clear concise goals for legal department. If you want to be constantly stressed then work in the legal department at Vans. Marketing/Creative is full of misogynistic over grown old skateboard bros who want to push that narrative onto the company.

Pros

Great culture, wonderful people, flexible work hour, dog day friday. Company has been consistently growing in revenue, therefore provides stability for their employee. Steve Van Doren makes effort to make sure employees are happy with his famous grill days and swags.

Cons

Little to no personal growth even when VF make effort to do so with HR's talent program. Too clicky. Cool kids club. It's better to go in at a position you want for the long run, otherwise, you'll be stuck with the title and pay you got when you went in for a very very long time.
