Pros

so much free uniform! Excellent co workers and can be Really fun environment. Area manager very easy to talk to and discuss store issues with.

Cons

you are restricted to what you are allowed to wear. it MUST be vans (down to your socks) and many of the management team can be too young, inexperienced and egotistical. minimum wage and nearly every month messed up payslips which wouldn't be resolved till the following month.

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.
