Pros

I worked at Vans full time starting my sophomore year of high school and was there for 5 years total. I loved working there so much! The money could've been way better, but if it was I kid you not I would still be selling shoes to this day. I loved my coworkers, managers, and being in the mall was super fun.

Cons

As I said the pay isn't much, and holiday season can be exhausting. If you don't like being pushed to make daily sales goals I wouldn't recommend it.
