REI reviews

I felt like I never had any money to participate in their employee discount program when working here. They say you have to start off working there part-time for a year before you can advance to full-time status or receive benefits. If you are trying to make a living here, it might be a good idea to have a second job. I have seen people advance faster than most and what you have to do to achieve this is really show interest and initiative by asking for what you want. As a Frontline employee, the management really makes you feel like your job hinges on selling the membership. You are supposed to be the last chance the customer will buy a membership before leaving the store, but a lot of the times you are the first one to tell them about it. It's not so bad, but if you have a really good week and sell 40 memberships in a week and only 12 in another, it's like the 40 never happened. It can be stressful trying to make a numbers game happen when it feels like every customer is saying "no" to the membership.

Inconsistent hours, since hours depended on sales (as a store, not personal sales)
