      Pros

      Very laid back environment. Management is very supportive of employees needs and wants. Have a great "Yay day" incentive where employees pick any 2 days of the year for a paid day off as long as they are doing something outside and learning.

      Cons

      Inconstant hours. I started on swing shift but prefer to work days. With the busy and slow season it is hard to have a consistent pay check.

      Pros

      Great team of people, empowering work environment, amazing discounts.

      Cons

      Low upward mobility, you need to give a lot of availability, but often receive low hours.

      Pros

      Working at REI was the best opportunity I was afforded during my Senior year of high school. As the youngest staff member at the time, I was treated as an equal and expected to perform at the same level as my peers.

      Cons

      Because most people had worked retail before, I was not as prepared to work the register and spent a lot of time learning on-the-go. The return policy can be frustrating, but this was the best opportunity I could have had to learn customer service skills. Absolutely loved my job.
