Great side job!

Pros

The staff, customers, and most upper management are truly amazing.individuals. You will make some good friends here if you want to. The Pro-deal discounts are amazing... but it also makes me sick to think how much $$ the markup is for the average Joe/Jane.

Cons

You will not get rich here. Especially if your like me and end up buying a whole stores worth of pro-deal gear. My advice to you is this: use this as a part time side job...in addition to either a full time "career" job and/or school. They are pretty flexible with working with your schedule (at least my store in Lakewood, CO was).

Pros

I love that fact that REI offers grant money to worth while projects in our community that allows all of us to enjoy the outdoors.

Cons

WAS Membership sales and how if you were not selling them you didn't get scheduled very much, which directly affected maintaining your health benefits.
