Pros

Fun coworkers Good discounts Friendly customers Decent pay In general, great workplace vibes

Cons

The technology is a bit outdated (but I think this is improving). Some of the practices and systems seemed inefficient and old-school. Understaffing can make some days very stressful.

Pros

Discounts on REI brand products.

Cons

Constantly pushing the membership. I understand it's a co-op, but it's a competition to see which store sells the most memberships on a daily basis. Putting up with members who are clearly abusing the return policy.
