The overall position was completely undersold by the District HR. And I was willing to patiently see a change in the DC. - Multi Unit Management Vans Employee Review

Pros

Vans provides discount on their product to their associates

Cons

Vans HQ itself seems extremely friendly and easy going location to work for. Sadly, not the case at Vans DC poor overall management to include HR as a whole. Very minimal support to associates who are not at the management level. The main reason as to why I decided to leave.

Pros

The environment is absolutely amazing with my coworkers and they are always supportive. Any issues that arise are met with a high level of humanity - on the base level of the people I work with, because I haven't really delt with corporate. It genuinely feels nice to work here when you have a team like mine. The culture of skating is absolutely amazing to learn about at VANs and be a part of as well. I like the history behind some of the shoes, but that's probably just because I'm a history nerd.

Cons

Part time doesn't get many hours or enough pay to survive off of. However, you can't become full time unless you get a higher position. Sadly, they are incredibly hard to get, due to the fact people seem to stay with VANs if they get that promotion, just because it seems to be great to work here once you have that higher position. As well as the usual shift is 4 hours, and sometimes you only get one shift a week. It's just incredibly hard to stay here when it can't even give you enough money on your paychecks to get a small amount of groceries that'll last one person two weeks.
