Pros

Awesome company culture, great discounts and people to work with.

Cons

Pay could be better. Teams always seemed to be over staffed or under, never just right.

Pros

The Company and Brand Heritage and Culture are so profoundly instilled in every aspect of the business. That means that as an employee and an employer, I was encouraged to be authentic and genuine and original in all my endeavors, and I was able to hire and develop people with that same message to spread. The support you felt and the sense of Family was incomparable. The Van Doren Message of it "it was never about waving the brand around like a flag, it was always about the people" was so true. We were encouraged to build real connections with our customers

Cons

task load was a bit heavy with operations, at times poorly timed with huge swings in peak season or traffic. just a lot on our plates at once and trying to keep the team motivated to get everything done and still keep the customer focus as top priority was always something that had to be maintained. Field Leadership direct leaders were mixed in talent. Some absolutely amazing. Some who didn't seem invested. Some who had different sets of rules for the different leaders on their team.

Pros

Great family, amazing products, great benefits, fun environment. My vans experience was great after 2 years I took another job and turned down a promotion to SM due to money and that the new job wouldn't be an hour commute each way. Coming in with product knowledge and retail management experience this job was a walk in the park for me. I adapted quickly and learned the vans way. Over the 2 years I got to go away 5 times to open new stores across country for GO TEAM that was the most fun to travel free and have it all paid for. Health benefits are cheap and really good. Pay is decent and discount is out of this world no other store can come close. Love the Company so much I still work part time.

Cons

Crazy customers screaming at you from time to time just like any retail store, sometimes it get a little task crazy, back room gets cluttered easy with old window displays but you need to keep for future sometimes.
