Vans reviews

Company claims to care for their people. But when it comes down to it there is no support for the stores, no communication and when things change on whim you are expected to be adaptable. It is fairly difficult to move up in the company, not protecting their ROI which is internal promotion. People who already are aware of how the company runs and have already put their blood sweat and tears into the company. Corporate is not held to the same standard as the stores but get paid substantially more. HR is a joke and is there to protect the company and not the people. The allotted payroll is a joke. You are expected to run a store on minimum hours, there are days where you work all day by yourself and you will still go over payroll. But you are expected to suck it up. Hours are earned, for every $1000 dollars you earn an extra 4 hours of payroll. Corporate seems to make decisions out of nowhere and again, you are expected to be on board with no questions or complaints.

Corporate constantly runs new promotions, but most team members are only scheduled 4 hours a week so communication needs to be flawless for anyone to know what's going on. They expect people to push numbers but don't allocate the hours or the pay for people to feel invested in their jobs. The best employees all have second jobs that are their primary priority, and then upper management wonders why no one is willing to come in when people call out of work.
