Pros

I loved working at vans, everyone was like a family and so very supportive.

Cons

After the first year the store was open, scheduling went down the drain. Good employees were down to one shift a week, and even managers could only work the minimum

Pros

The environment is super fun and enjoyable. I never have had a problem with any of my coworkers being disrespectful and the work is pretty fun.

Cons

The pay is too little. If there were more benefits and pay allowed for part time then the job would be fantastic.

Pros

The job provides you with great customer service experience and teaches you the basics of retail and communication. Skills are learned that can be used in other future jobs as well.

Cons

The pay is not amazing but it is enough. Sometimes angry customers don't help either, but thats how every job is. The job also feels very redundant at times.
