Pros

Great brand to work for, the heritage and culture run deep in Vans. The people you meet, you will make lifelong friends and get to share the passion of the brand with generations of Vans wearers.

Cons

The pay is low compared to other companies, especially if you are a lower level support manager, and it can be politics about whose but you have to kiss to go anywhere, definite favorites among district managers in the company.
