      More and more money grubbing, protecting the senior leadership, and degeneration of the everyday staff

      Pros

      As of right now, my health insurance is the best thing about working at REI, although that is certainly not a guarantee as 20+ year employees are losing benefits while the company is experiencing record sales that are falling slightly short of expectations.

      Cons

      REI has lost much of it's focus on customers and employees and seems to be focused purely on the dollars at the expense of staff and customer service.

      Pros

      Cool coworkers, flexible schedules, casual dress code. Sometimes the ability be yourself and be liked and even appreciated for it.

      Cons

      With a good store manager, work can be pleasant, even fun, but when management is indifferent to morale in favor of policy, things are Walmart-bad.
