Pros

They kept open communication lines, an helped me through every step to open a brand new store. My district was very welcoming and open which helped my adaptation to the new company be that much easier. It was a place that I could truly express myself by talking and selling to customers a product that I completely stand behind. Vans allowed me to have un with my staff but helping them learn at the same time.

Cons

The only con that I have, was that at the time of my separation from the company, there weren't any stores for me to transfer to in my new area since it is a new market.

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.
