Pros

50% regular discount. 30% off sale items. 20% off skate equipment. That's all. And its actually pretty awesome.

Cons

You know the person who mentioned Vans is run by posers and geeks. Yeah I brushed him off too. Turns out, he was right on. Not like Freaks & Geeks(the show) where everyone is actually awesome, and they're looked down on. No I mean, these people try very hard to be the "cool jerk". And if you're new, you're nothing but a placeholder. You will not be "good enough" no matter how much you sell. Your professionalism will suffer simply from how co-workers and management communicate with each other. It may be cool and hip when you're a teenager, but bad habits die hard and you don't need that. Oh and be prepared to be called for a 4 hour shift and only work for 2.
