Pros

I am very happy with the work that I do and that the hard work I put in does not go unnoticed. I have been in retail for over 10 years and I have received some of the best coaching and development with Vans than with any other company. They really want to work with you on leveraging your strengths and growing your opportunity areas to see you succeed. If you take care of them, they take care of you which can't be said of most retail companies who take and take and take from you and give next to nothing in return.

Cons

They are a bit stingy with their pay. I am under paid for my position and have been on my boss for over 6 months for my raise that is over due. We have a meeting to discuss very soon we shall see how that goes.
