What’s it like working at Vans?

AI summary of recent reviews

Employees at Vans appreciate the fun and casual work environment, great teamwork, and supportive colleagues. Management is praised for being supportive and demonstrating good leadership skills.

However, there are some potential challenges, such as concerns about the performance appraisal process not fully reflecting an employee's overall work performance, the emphasis on meeting sales targets, which can be stressful, and the significant amount of paperwork and administrative tasks required. Additionally, the lack of half-sizes for men's shoes in Singapore can be a challenge for some employees.
