Pros

- The employee’s are all amazing, the shared passion for vans transcends all and everyone usually vibes and has each other’s back. - great benefits especially the discount for vans and all the VF brands - customers are usually pretty chill - straightforward training - you’re a brand ambassador so you get to rock vans everything all day, talk about vans all day, sell vans all day - if that sounds like your kind of job apply yesterday.

Cons

- can get hectic, the stockroom especially after shipments or during a peak season. - holiday shopping is no joke, if you can’t handle stressful encounters, crowding, chaos and the occasional less than pleasant customer maybe reconsider

Pros

Depending on District/Store great culture. Awesome discounts and bonus incentives for full time management. Relatively lenient on being able to use your discretion with difficult customers, "What Would Van Doren Do?" - basically make the customer happy reasonably. Great position to learn retail and people management in - applied itself to any career field later on.

Cons

Job Security (retail and working in malls in today's landscape can be tough depending on location). Corporate can be corporate sometimes, DMs or RMs pushing unreasonable and ridiculous selling behaviors sometimes.
