REI reviews

They make a big point of making sure you understand that they are a co-op owned and operated by members, but REI is only a consumer co-op, NOT an employee co-op. Remember that if you decide to work here, it's no different than any other employer.

Every manager is metric driven, don’t waste your time asking them what the metrics mean, how they are calculated or metric improvement….. Their stake in the metrics is summit payments which translates to harping supervisors to exploit their associates so management can get the biggest summit payout. Pay structure and incentives are heavily invested in senior management and network management and boy are they so not in touch with reality they truly believes buying an associate a cookies is a job well done! How about coming out of your ivory towering and answering difficult questions versus making sure your car batteries are charged. My favorite part is when network leadership creates a new pointless report and the direct waddles out to the production floor and tries to explain, lol! The culture, oh wait there isn’t one. HR is the worst, depending on their mood, how made they are at their spouse the same situation will be handled differently. Our policies are one huge grey book open for terrible interpretation by a power hungry person that is very mean.
