Pros

My coworkers are amazing and the managers are too. I love it especially since I am a skater so I can use that 20% discount on the sk8-shop. There is also the 50% off normal vans items and 30% off items on sale.

Cons

The pay is a little low so I have to have other jobs to compensate for it. The hours are not great. I work at a Vans/Sk8-Shop in a mall so the customers are awful. The reason they are bad is because its a bad mall in the middle of Memphis, TN (SO MUCH THEFT) I hate it.
