      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.

      Good Company, people and products

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture and enjoyed working with co-workers and in house management. Faith in products being sold.

      Cons

      Company so focused on customer satisfaction that they allow themselves to be ripped off with returns. Endorsement for management is decided by a phone call with someone you may only meet once or twice in the course of a year instead of the in house management that works with you on a daily basis.
