Pros

Inclusive, relaxed, supportive. I feel inspired working at REI and enjoy being part of the Co-Op. Also great benefits, discounts, and paid time off to play. Great culture and values!

Cons

In my role I sometimes feel like I have more responsibilities and stress than I currently get compensated for. It also seems like advancement opportunities are hard to come by without relocating.

Pros

Great Discounts, enjoyable out door minded co-workers. Got to get hands on training with new products from vendor brand reps

Cons

Normally you would only have a two-week outlook on your work schedule. Schedule fluctuated with the seasons as well. Had to work at least one weekend day.

Pros

great company! good perks with prodeals, and the REI discount.

Cons

the attitude in the store is dependant on what manager you have. I worked there through 3 different store managers. Two of the store managers reallly made a great environment, upbeat, happy, excited. One manager really brought allot of negativity....
