Pros

I loved working here primarily because of the people who I worked with we're so amazing. It genuinely felt like I was working with a family. Working at Vans made me feel like I had a purpose. The company itself is amazing, and growing up in California I felt as though I could really relate to the culture of the company. The shoes we're state of the art, and the customers had vibes that always matched my personality along with the company.

Cons

Some downsides to working at Vans would be the fact that during certain hours of the day, the mall would be pretty much empty. At this point is becomes a little boring, but that's with any retail store. During these times we would usually recover the store by refolding and restocking the clothes, along with making the shoe displays look perfect.
