Pluspunten

- Nice culture - Laid back environment - Fun industry - Discounts on company products - Good work/life balance overall - Skatepark

Minpunten

- Lack of mid-long term vision - Zero learning and no growth opportunities - Senior Management (VPs and some directors) are stale and not challenged. They live in their comfort zone. Many of them have been here for a long time and really lack experience, they are not able to see things differently or to bring anything new on the table. - Lack on innovation on every level - Talent retention is not a focus here - Nepotism and favoritism are definitely noticeable

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
