Pros

- Great employee discount - Great return policy - Great people to work with - Great opportunities to learn more about outdoor adventures and gear - Management is good and easy to work for - Offered health benefits to part-time employees (You still had to pay for them, but not many p/t jobs offer that chance.)

Cons

- Low pay, but that's what you expect from a retail job - Have to sell a certain quota of memberships each week which is not always easy to do when most customers are already members and you have multiple REI employees trying to sell memberships to the same customers.

Pros

Really awesome company to work for. Great company culture. Did an excellent job with training and preparing you to begin working.

Cons

While it is a great place to work, it is still a retail job. Definitely not terrible though and probably the best retail place to work.
