Pros

Solid learning environment, good intro into the retail world which fostered my growth into future management positions. Also good discount on Vans product while working there.

Cons

Short shifts starting off, but that's how it goes for entry level employees. Long process to move into upper level positions and entry level management at the retail level - but again, I feel that's expected for a retail job.

Pros

Great environment to work in. 50% discount on all merchandise. Ability to listen to your own music in backroom.

Cons

Not enough hours. When you are good at something, like stock, management will continuously make you complete those tasks, instead of rotating on the floor.
