Pros

Insane discount. You get to brag that you worked at Vans, great atmosphere, love the brand and products.

Cons

I was hired during the Black Friday season, and I was fired because "some lady complained about me". I was a fine employee, yeah I showed up late a few times but only because I had to ride the bus, and the managers were well aware. Employees that had been there before acted like they were better than the new hires.

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.
