Vans ASM- Assistant Store Manager reviews

they don’t take HR seriously, they have management that shouldn’t even be in management, they make it into a hostile environment. I’ve worked retail for 15 years and this is by far one of the worst “people” company’s I’ve ever worked for. They only see associates and management as numbers. As well as them not doing anything about harassment cases. They pretend like nothing has ever happened and people are too “sensitive.” I wouldn’t recommend anyone unless you want your mental health destroyed.

Horrible pay. 7 years of hard work and dedication - blood, sweat and tears at Vans in the Utah market amounts to $15.80/hr. This is among several store transfers – high volume and low volume, two college degrees and years of loyalty to the brand. Two weeks after I left my position, Vans upped their associate base pay to $14.00/hr. I've never felt so under-appreciated by a company. There are people in management who truly have no idea what it takes to be a leader. Vans hires people that look good on paper, but are horrible at face-value. It is a very political game, too. It is a rat-race, though corporate won't even consider hiring internal store-level employees that have years of experience and want to work. There are far more cons than there are pros working at Vans.
