Pros

the product and the discount is awesome. the brand itself is awesome and I will never stop shopping with Vans.

Cons

Basically everything else. HORRIBLE UPPPER MANAGEMENT and lower level management is continuously berated and disrespected by upper management throughout the company and district. Pay is absolutely horrible yet you are expected to a ridiculous amount of work and put them first at all costs. I accepted this position being told I would work 20 hours a week. I get scheduled close to 40 and I am a full time student. I have been asked on several occasions to have my education take a back seat so I can help them out. For 10.50 and hour? what a joke. No payroll to support, only two people working on a busy Saturday and they we get yelled at for missing our sales goals. This company sucks, you will be unhappy.

If you enjoy action sports this is your place. Large company benefits with small family owned feel.

Not much, if any, opportunity to move up and expand career.
