"I've worked at Van's for 3 years, and I moved up from seasonal to management. It was an honor for me to do this, and it was a challenge as well. We have a lot of people move through our business, and I treat each one as special and valued. It's important to do this and to keep improving."
"I've worked there for five years. Management is very helpful and always willing to answer any questions an associate has. You learn more about the Vans family."
"Worked at vans as an associate. It was fun."
"I've worked for Vans since 2012 with a break for the military. The heartshare of the company, something they take pride in, has been the focus of the company however, with numbers being down, they are focusing more on the numbers than the people that work for them. If they want better results, the people should be the focus."
"Vans is a down to earth company focused on elevating youth action sports specifically in skateboarding and surfing. It is laid back, local, and focused on the family."
"Can't beat the work/life balance. With exponential growth, comes confusion."
"The women's apparel department is toxic. Full of girls who think they are still in high school, with gossip and interoffice politics. I would not recommend working here."
"Vans is a growing company with great values. It's a simple company that believes in the customer. With the current growth it is hard for Vans to keep up with the times. The training is very basic, POS system needs to be updated so bad, there is no plans for personal growth, and GM's have a hard time being business owners. The great thing is that VANS is learning all of these things and updating. The love that the Van Doreen family has for the company is huge. Makes you want to be a part of the future."
