      Pros

      REI has one of the best work environments that I have ever experienced. It has such diverse culture and creates a very unique work experience. The pay for part time is good, discounts are great and managers are cool.

      Cons

      One of the biggest negatives that I experienced while working there was getting time off approved especially during holiday/sales seasons. It seems like they hire tons of people when it isn't as busy but during the busy times you can't seem to get anyone to cover a shift and management doesn't approve time off.

      Pros

      REI is a fun environment that attracts good people, and I always enjoyed my coworkers. They give back to the community and support good causes.

      Cons

      A very strong emphasis on selling co-op memberships, and I often felt like I was pressuring people. Extremely difficult to get a full-time job. No set schedules, so it's hard to plan ahead.
