Pros

Vans is a really great company to work for because not only is your job easy but you get to fun with it. Plus You get an awesome 50% discount ,and it's also a job that's not strict with dress code. You can wear almost anything just as long as you are rocking your Vans and the Vans style. Also you will find that once your part of the team you are essentially part of the Vans family and that's a great feeling.

Cons

The hours are low at first, but the moment you start putting your mind to becoming a better sales associate. Is when you will get much better in terms of how well your selling and that gets you more hours and more money. The other downside is the pushing socks. However, I know it might seem like a hard thing to do but really it's just dropping socks to the customer and telling them why there great for our shoes nothing more nothing less. :)
