      Great job once you're full time!

      Pros

      Great customers and coworkers, relaxed environment. Great benifits package once it kicks in and amazing discounts on merchandise. Easy to transfer locations and relocate. 8 hour paid day off every 6 months is a nice perk.

      Cons

      Retail within a large company always has its challenges. Loss prevention, low hours for part time employees, limited space for stock, unclear visual standards. Overall REI does a great job at managing these issues, but there is always room for improvment. Managment team varies by store and can be hit or miss.

      Good work Environment but Chaotic Scheduling

      Pros

      The people you work with are the greatest part of the job if you like working with people who love the outdoors, everyone enjoys being outdoors and that passion shows in their day to day lives. Schedules are flexible to a reasonable degree if you don't mind losing hours. The healthcare benefits you get are excellent if you can keep them.

      Cons

      The pay is average for retail but hours are hard to come by at the sales level. You don't have guaranteed hours so if business is bad then you'll find that you're are not working much for a month which means many people often end up working a 2nd job.
