Pros

No accountability or expectation to complete anything, so long as you have "SMART Goals" input into HR's system.

Cons

-Zero leadership -Homogenous - zero diversity of thought, which has led to no innovation or ability to question direction or processes. -Nothing ever gets done - the company is YEARS behind the competition. -The company has not made a net profit since 2022. -Absolutely no career mobility or opportunities. -Low pay, does not meet inflation - they rely on their no-accountability work policy and remote life to keep seats filled. -Company talks a big diversity game, but there is no diversity of thought, which isn't conducive to a successful business. -You can find better compensation and a healthy work life balance outside of this failing company.

Pros

- Excellent coworkers - REI does a great job of hiring enthusiastic and personable staff - Slightly better pay compared with other retail in the area - Prodeals and discounts - Flexible hours - Good (although rapidly diminishing) healthcare benefits

Cons

- Once a (better) company known for its investment in knowledgeable and friendly staff via extensive training and investment, the company has been slowly slashing away at most of what makes it special since the pandemic - Hours and benefits are worsening, proper employee training is becoming hard to come by - lots of mediocrity and sometimes questionable ethical calls made by management - Punitive disciplinary policies that seem to be designed to create higher turnover (advantageous to them given the gradual pay, benefit and policy changes)
