Pros
Great working with like-minded people, who like to have fun, and care about the outdoors. Discounts (especially on REI branded gear) are great. Opportunity to work with the Outdoor School is also something not many employers can claim.
Cons
It's still retail. So the hours and pay make long-term employment less attractive, even if moving into management. REI has long been known as a great place to work and compared to other retailers in the industry (I've worked for two others), it is head and shoulders above other companies.
