      Pros

      Very flexible, great benefits even for part-time employees, amazing co-workers, pretty good starting pay, and yearly performance-based raises. The discounts are great, the work is interesting, they provide lots of training, and really try and place people where their interests and talents are. REI has great values, and encourages all the employees to live those values, and balance work and life. There are tons of classes you get discounts on to learn about new activities, and lots of employee only outings and opportunities to get more involved with the company and your coworkers.

      Cons

      The pay is not great. It's far above minimum wage, but at least where I live, it's still not enough to pay rent and I work close to 40 hours a week. The downside of having a work life balance is that there is no overtime. You will never be scheduled for more than 40 hours.

      Pros

      Awesome management, always looking to help you out and have your back. You really are engaged with the customer while you are there and you learn a lot of cool things.

      Cons

      It is a retail job, so working part time means that the hours fluctuate and it is annoying sometimes.
