Vans reviews

Vans is unstructured. No communication between departments or campaigns. They hire too many. If you are looking for more hours and a higher paycheck, it may not be for you. Starting out, look at 4-8 hours a week on minimum wage. You can work your way up to 12 if you bust it. 20 if you're lucky.

As a sales associate at the store I worked at you can almost forget any chance of promotion. I've been a die hard fan of vans products all My life and always wanted to work at vans when I finally got a chance too had to know someone to get a job. Management was in a clique and put incompetent 18 year old kids in floor supervisor positions the kind who's open the back door to smoke and ask you to watch the floor alone then you pull your phone out to check the fine and he writes you up for it. There's zero hope in working on your deck book management says they're too busy with other tasks when there's plenty of down days. They just don't care and don't want you to move up. People are super lazy and never put drags away managers think they're better then that and would rarely help put them away or fold shirts typically the store closing procedures went well onto 11pm because no one was tending to the drags and clothes who left earlier. There's a very "f it it's not my problem attitude " just overall a sad learning expierence. The managers would often steal all the hours from asosociates and just work all manager shifts by that I mean run managers and no sales staff. Also noone cares about skate certifing you unless your again in thier "clique" It took me 8 months to get certified to ring while others were always stealing my big sales. I had to call hr 3 times in regards o why I wasn't certified. I have a clean record and I'm not a thief. So I'm not sure what thier issue was. Eventually I got other jobs and just worked at vans less and less never quit just would work a day once in awhile until I was randomly terminated. And also never informed of it. There's probably only two good managers at this store the rest and old manager are incompetent morons.
