Great place to work, pay isn't the best but you get free gear all the time and 50% off shoes and apparel.

Pros

50% off shoes and apparel, pretty chill job and management is pretty laid back but still motivating for the most part.

Cons

Not the best pay and retail hours aren't the best but that's pretty expected for a retail mall job. But overall a nice place to work

Pros

This place is just great let me tell you what. Every morning I get to wake up and work with awesome people. We also have a lot of fun when we work.

Cons

There should be health insurance for every "manager" who works for Vans. Not just the SM and ASM. Also, there needs to be more scrutiny in the hiring process for internal promotions.

Pros

-Worked with your schedules as there are a lot of students working there -Decent music playing all the time -Decent clientele

Cons

-Hours were hard to get sometimes, as they incentivized lots of upsells, after one bad week you would be losing days and it was hard to get them back.
