REI reviews

I agree with many people here. The pay gap between the management staff and the sales staff is WAY to big. I find it quite ridiculous that I was working 36-40 hours a week and was still under the poverty line. There is absolutely no room for growth unless you want this to be your life. They say that they are about a work life balance, but when you are required to work one day a weekend and at least 2 nights a week, that makes work life balance very difficult. I was told that I would be able to run the warehouse when I was the S/R, but when it came down to it, they wanted it their way and any other would be wrong. Also the company eliminated a position and no one assumed that position, so it was passed off to me and I was not compensated for it one penny. That is why I left.

growing to quickly, starting to be run like a corporation rather than a family company. Hours are not reliable at all. Great place to work as a second job or if you are a student who needs some extra cash but not a bread and butter job unless you are management. even specialized positions are not considered important anymore
