VF Corporation Employer Reviews

I have been working at this store for 4 years. I learned a lot about proper customer service and understanding the wants and needs of customers. Great first job for high school students and very flexible schedule for college students.

Coworkers are great, we work as a team and get along very well. That's the only reason why I've stayed for so long. – more... Customers vary, some are great, most are rude and messy. But I still love engaging conversation with the customers, especially if they're visiting from a different country, which we get a lot.

Unfortunately, even though I have been with the company for so long and I pretty much act as a supervisor when under-staffed, they refuse to promote within. Even with recommendations from the store supervisors and managers, for some odd reason they do not like to promote within. It's unfortunate that the people within this store have been so loyal and dedicated to the brand and company, Vans, are not recognised nor compensated. The pay is very low and very little raise to no raise is given supposedly twice a year.

The brand is great but this particular store/district management, not so great. – less

Help ring out customers and do returns and exchanges. Also straighten up the store and set up clothing displays.

Really like the company. Work load is not balanced in our department. Some work a 35-40 hour week. Others are working 60 plus hours. Management has been promising workload rebalancing for almost three years.

A typical day at work would be running the sales floor, fitting rooms, and registers. Wherever you are needed, you go. It's all a team effort here in order to get things down. The managers are awesome and I loved working for every single one of them. I had a few hard working co-workers whom I enjoyed working with because they wouldn't just sit around – more... and watch everyone else work. The hardest part of the job was tolerating with the co-workers who just did nothing, but I picked up the slack if needed. The most enjoyable part was bonding with co-workers and having conversations at the registers with customers while checking them out. – less

the job was easy but it wasn't my type of job. the people made the day go by faster and taught me a lot. they worked with my school schedule and gave me time off when i needed it. the management was great they actually cared enough to know my first name. my job was to ensure that all the jeans where folded and completely replenished to ensure that the – more... customer never had to ask for a size. – less

A typical work day for me is ensuring all customers are taken care of from the time they step in the store, until the time they checkout. I have learned that regardless of how my day may have gone before I report to work, the customers are my number one priority. Everyday that I am scheduled to work I can expect management to make sure that if I have – more... any work related questions, they have the correct answer for me everytime. I enjoy working with all my co-workers, due to the fact they are all team players, and are there to make sure that the daily mission is completed. The hardest part of my job is, that it isn't hard, its what you provide the job. My most enjoyable part of my job is making sure that the customers are taken care, – less

A typical day of work was productive and busy. Selling merchandise and explain the means of it. Greeting customers and helping them to find their needs. I learned how to have great communication and customer service skills. Management was great and very helpful. My co-workers were very friendly and worked as a team. I didn't have no experience with – more... any hard part at this job. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with customers and working with my co-workers as a team and going there to work with appositive attitude. – less

Management changes were constant and not always related to ability.

VF is a great place to work at, but its usually just a temp job because not many people get management positions anymore and it only offers part time employment

Nautica was a place that I proudly called home for 15 years
I learned from various positions in different divisions

the first manager it was a great environment, fun, was told when doing good and bad.The environment/manager lent it self to people doing their best because they were respected and praised when they did well.co-worker/management was great it felt like a family. the most enjoyable was the interaction with co-workers as well as customers. the second manager – more... was rude disrespectful and was firing people for personal reasons and hiring friends/family.didnt know how to manage people at all and made for a horrible work envirnoment. – less

I love working here, only wish the company had full time hours for employees to work.

I traveled most of my career, but I grew up with all my co-workers. I learned everything I know know from electrical, maintenance, management, facilties, safety, longtime friendship. I didn't feel anything was too hard for me to accomplish. I rose up through the ranks because of confidence in my ability to suceed at everything I was presented and they – more... rewarded me and my family. – less

VF was an overal good company to work for. It was a big corporation with a family feel.

Working as a retail clerk in a clothing store. We had a great energy with all the employees. I learned how to be both a leader and work as a team. The hardest part was the amount of work. It was a large store and and it was just a lot of work, but it was fun work.

I was very excited and positive about joining the team at VF in Branson,Mo. Unfortunately my excitement quickly faded when almost everything I was told when hired was completely untrue. Started with what they call orientation which consisted of going through a huge stack of paperwork and signing each paper as fast as possible with absolutely no explanations. – more... The training process lasted about five minutes and then was expected to run cash register, register customers for VIP, dressing rooms, restock, etc... I absolutely love working with people but felt frustrated and embarrassed when a customer came to me with questions I could not answer due to the lack of training and could never find another assosiate or manager that weren't to busy to assist the customer or at least point me in the right direction. The veteran employees were very rude and unfriendly to new associates. This behavior upset me and made me feel uncomfortable and bad for my fellow new associates. The managers loved to spend time eating, gossiping, and complaining rather than being out on the floor making sure the customers walked out satisfied. They loved to use their position / title to make others feel inferior. My hours were never consistant with what I was told when hired, breaks weren't given at accurate times, for example if you worked a 6 or 8 hour shift the new people wouldn't receive a break until an hour before our shift was over. The current associates were constantly complaining about how unhappy they were. That kind of an attitude is like a virus in the workplace so as a result several people quit during the short time I was employed there. I wish the best for the success of VF Branson but in my opinion there will need to be big changes in management and better customer service. Would not reccomend this job to anyone until some of these changes have been made. – less

Able to cross train on any job and receive encouragements form co-workers and management.

Flexible schedule and great benefits. Compensation fair for the related industry.

I really enjoy working there, the hours and work are easy and has been a great place for me to get back in the swing of working since being out of work for so long!!

A typical day would be doing freight and getting to the floor in a timely matter. I have learned how the department is suppose to flow and the ROYGBIV. The management was great while I was there. My co-workers were helpful in some areas. The hardest part was everyone not on the same page. The most enjoyable was the customers and employees.
