Pros
Employee discount, flexible scheduling, some fun customer interactions, dress code allows full expression of self (as long as its Vans branded)
Cons
“we’re a family” motto while stiffing their associates Basically if you arent ASM or SM, get a second part time job with benefits. Corporate complains about productivity but doesnt offer benefits to anyone outside of ASM/SM, and will do all they can to prevent you from working enough hours to become “entitled” to benefits. Micro-managed B2C sales. Pretend to be chill/skate/artsy to hawk products at people every step of the way. Quality Control Occasional incentive program that offers 1%-3% commissions but corporate can terminate at any moment without warning After 5 years you get a free pair of shoes (also given to all new employees) after 10 you get a a free deck.
