      Pros

      Dress casually and comfortably for daily work, friendly coworkers, product discounts, strong company goals and values that align with their products

      Cons

      None in particular - it's retail, so it's soul sucking, even at a good company. Emphasis on memberships is tiring but necessary.

      Pros

      Amazing community of co-workers, good discounts on gear. Good for students or people whose parents are supplementing their living costs.

      Cons

      Employees hours are cut when sales goals are not met, however this does not apply to managment. Hours are unrealiable. Poor salaries. Benefits for part-time employees don't come into affect until after 12 months employment plus a one month administrative period. I am suprised REI can win awards for "Best Workplace" when they don't care for their employees.
