Pros

Discounts on Vans shoes (40%)

Cons

It was a group of 18-23 years olds that acted like they were still in Highschool with antics and gossiping about eachother. One of the least chill places I've ever worked! And I love Vans!

Pros

Creative environment Interesting Coworkers Fantastic discount (50% + free pair when you first get hired)

Cons

Corporate is rude and there is no room for growth Pay is incredibly bad - you have very high goals with a lot of pressure and no commission. Very cliquey. I wasn't quite creative or weird enough for many of my coworkers. There was "on-call" shifts where you had to call 2 hours prior to your shift to see if they needed you. It was a minimum wage job.
