Huge potential but so disconnected

Pros

People, the culture, the vibe. Vans is a great place to work, they have good people there who want to work hard and its great being a part of a team with that mentality. The people work who do work hard

Cons

Management - Management does not see the potential in its employees. This has cause huge issues and there has been a pretty big exiting of some great people in this past year alone. Its unfortunate that you have people making decisions for teams when they do not even work closely with their department. Vans will continue to lose great people to other companies because of the structure of how the executive team interacts with there respective teams. My VP didn't even know the name of one of my teammates, who was there multiple years.

Pros

-Great people -Great company culture

Cons

-There are no consequences for people that underperform in any position. -If you are a good employee and aren't able to establish boundaries for yourself, you will end up with the majority of the workload.

Pros

Besides the fact that you get a free pair of vans when you first start out AND you get 50% off on everything (30% on sale items), you have the opportunity to reach 70% off everything if you are employee of the month. It's also just a great retail store to work for. I love my coworkers & I love showing up to my shifts. I also love how we can wear pretty much whatever we want as long as it's family friendly.

Cons

There's really not any cons for me yet (I haven't even been here 6 months yet) but I wish I had more hours. Not really a con considering I *want to go to work more*
