      Good discount. Poor management and leadership.

      Pros

      The discount is great and you can prodeal from a number of different companies. Work life balance is really good and def helpful if you have a family.

      Cons

      Management has been grandfathered into positions purely because they have been there a long time. Processes are not in place or there are too many new processes that doing your job is not efficient. REI is the opposite of a well oiled machine. HR sits on their hands if you come to them with issues about management. The anonymous hotline is a joke and since people have been there for 20 yrs they will never get fired. Even though they are incompetent. One manager made someone read a book out loud to her in a meeting room and then she corrected her on her English. This person was humiliated and this was a weekly meeting. Calling the hotline did nothing. HR did nothing. This manager still works there and I find it appalling REI would allow this behavior. Location is in Kent and the Private Brands office is in a warehouse. It's not inspiring and fighting with semis before parking in the lot gets old.
