Pros

•50% off all vans merchandise. •30% off all products shop merchandise. •great employees. •great managers. •they want you to succeed. •flexible hours.

Cons

•Only cons I had were 20hr work week cap so the discount is only worth as much as your making. •the only other problem is I could make them 3,000$ in one shift 4-5hrs and my commission was only hour based for next week.

Cool Benefits & People, Poor Upper Management

Pros

They hire cool young people, so its easy to find friendship within the workplace. 50% discount on all full priced items and 30% on sale is amazing! They also teach you really good customer service techniques. Great place to learn for those who don't have much retail experience.

Cons

Some of the management that's been there for a while can be condescending and rude, instead of constructive criticism they just cut you down. But that's what happens when your company doesn't treat you right. Also not a lot of opportunity for upward growth
