Pros
Through different initiatives Vans shows that they care about their employees and from my experience are great with career advancement. Yearly performance reviews and 6 month check ups are a great way to measure your growth and discuss success' and opportunities with your Store Manager. I was really stoked to receive benefits and full time hours once being promoted to Assistant Manager When you work here you are part of the Vans Family!
Cons
A management position requires a flexible schedule as you will be working closing and opening shifts (sometimes a close and open back to back) and must have open availability on weekends. Blackout days for big sales and extended holiday hours come with the territory of working retail. I earned the second highest on my team under the Store Manager but feel that for the amount of work my team put in, many deserved a much higher pay rate!
