REI reviews

Anyone above department supervisors have no clue what goes on at the company. They are immensely disconnected from the hourly employees who do the work. Operations are bloated from too many shifts, and too many people. No one gets full hours for close to 7-8 months out of the year, unless there are opportunities to support other departments; those ops are not always available. No work life balance unless you have a mass of PTO accrued over many years. Good luck having vacation hours to spend if you constantly have to use them to fill your weekly hours to a level that equates to an OK standard of living.

Hard to get 40 hours. To get extra hours have to take hours from other co-worker volunteering to take time off. Constant work arounds because of outdated apps. Example; 1980s billing and purchasing have lots of glitches. Recently hired workers from South america to take over answering emails and chats. Amusing half the pay.
