      Pros

      This is the first job I've had where there is no "office drama". I enjoy being around everyone I work with and don't feel like my job is an obligation. The management team works hard to help each employee attain their goals within the company and helps to promote a healthy work-life balance by approving time-off requests without batting an eye. Also, the benefits - even for temporary hires - are great! REI really cares about its employees, and I don't think that is something that can be said about most companies.

      Cons

      It would be nice to have regular hours and higher pay, but this is a part-time retail position, so for the other benefits listed, I can't complain much.

      Pros

      REI is very flexible with hours. When you apply you rank your interests in the outdoors and they try to match your likes with a suitable department. They offer medical/dental benefits even for part time employees, which is very hard to find and of course they offer their employees an awesome discount.

      Cons

      Not a lot of full time positions, have to work one weekend day a week.
