Pros

Still have great properties in major metro markets and are expanding into new areas. Great on-site staff.

Cons

Leadership has been causing a slow decay of a great company culture. During the pandemic things started shifting, and have been declining ever since. They don't seem to care about employee morale, and great people are leaving as a result.

Pros

Good to start out and have an entry level job in to REI’s.

Cons

Had a good experience until a newly promoted Director, who doesn’t even have any school diplomas or GED. He fired me with out cause or explanation. Couldn’t even show up to do it. He made up a policy violation, lied about it being reoccurring. JW Boston. Keep that in mind. There isn’t many people who stay past 3 years, and it’s the shady practices from the 22nd floor of the Federal Reserve Building in South Boston that are the reason. Making 30% more and the stress is so much less. Grass is definitely greener with this company.
