      Good intentions, but slow-moving and siloed.

      Pros

      Genuine endorsement for spending time outdoors whether going out for a jog over the lunch hour or getting into the mountains on weekends.

      Cons

      Heavily bureaucratic and siloed in approach to decision-making and innovation. Lacking an inspiring organizational and brand vision beyond promoting discounts and sales.

      Pros

      *Great product discount and interesting industry. *Many decent, hardworking people. *Environmentally friendly

      Cons

      *REI USED to be a fantastic place to work. Great worklife balance, co-workers and co-hesive goals. Not anymore...sadly. Along with the departure of the Sr. Level team went the culture. Employees and customers alike noticed - and boy did they notice. REI may claim their attrition is because of economic layoffs but I would venture to guess that more have left voluntarily than involuntarily. That includes the Recruiting Team. It's time for Leaders to take a good look at themselves and this company to get it on the right track again.
