REI reviews

Company started to get too "corporate" and lost the co-op feel, management was all about membership sales, scheduled hours were like a roller coaster 3 one week, 30 the next.

There is poor work/life balance in retail. Whenever the rest of the world is spending time with those they hold dear, retail employees are at work. There are some terrible managers working at this company and working for them sucks all the fun out of the job. The pay is lower than one might expect from a billion dollar retailer and the opportunities to advance just aren't there for even the best employees if they are not willing to move cross-country.
