      Pros

      For an outdoorsy person, it is an ideal job to get familiar with the many products.

      Cons

      As a sales person, the pressure to sell memberships is high and was not indicated in the interview. In the stores I worked in, the store culture was very cliquey.

      Pros

      - Love working with my coworkers - Love the flexibility of being able to take time off for other work - LOVE the PRODEALS - LOVE RETIREMENT - LOVE YAY DAYS!

      Cons

      - You dont get health benes until a year after your employment. and you have to be averaging about 20 hrs a week. - Managers at our store are to the book. They dont allow you to wear hats that we sell in the store. Other REI do. - Get less hours if we dont sell memberships. I'm great with people/ equipment/ technical skills, but they base your review entirely on MEMBERSHIPS.
