Pros
A great place for liberals - Vans is a very liberal minded place to work. If you have views other than that of the management either politically or personally you may want to keep them to yourself. I believe the company is still partially remote so you won't be able to take advantage of the on-site barista - which is a plus when the company shifts back to the office in 2022 (likely).
Cons
If you are ambitious and looking to work for leadership that both motivates and enables you, the Ecommerce team at Vans (US HQ) isn't for you. There are good people that work within, but generally speaking, the Ecommerce department is stagnated by exec leadership who have been with the company for a long time. They hire from the outside for senior and director roles about 80% of the time and don't invest in bringing many people along for the ride - well unless you are a "yes" man/ woman (aka agree with everything the upper mgmt says). The ecom employees that survive are the ones that the higher ups like and fit in with their version of the Vans "culture". That version is basically, "do what I say". Ironically, the Vans motto is "creative expression". Over the years, I watched some of the nicest/ most intelligent people leave the department because of the political favoritism that exists. If you are ok with working with the intent to follow a pre-conceived agenda purely for the sake of looking good in an easily "executive" digestible PPT, then this place is for you. If you care more for the customer, learning from your leader and those around you, then do not proceed with an interview in this dept. Vans seemingly is sold as a "cool" place to work but end of the day, it's just another corporation. They aren't your "Family", and when you decide to leave, they pretty much say adios, nice to know ya.
