Pros

They care about employee growth and private some great benefits. And Pro Deals! If you need outdoor gear, you can get it cheap.

Cons

If you are not interested in management, there is very limited opportunities to move up at the stores. Once you break into AHQ, there are a lot of opportunities, but getting there can be difficult.

Pros

-great team -great atmosphere -understanding of when you get sick -supportive -helps personal and career growth -great benefits! -Pro Deals with companies whos products they sell -Pro Deals for REI -

Cons

-The only con, and this doesn't have anything to do with the company, is the occassional choice customers that call and are exceedingly aggrivated and not easy to talk to. Luckily because of the good customer service REI can provide, these customers are VERY few and VERY far between. I think I have three "memorable" ones in the near four years I was with the company.
