      A job I'd consider going back to

      Ski and bike sales

      Pros

      Fun place to work. I enjoyed the customers and my coworkers.

      Cons

      I eventually got tired of answering the same questions for customers. The scheduling was difficult with evening and weekend work and only knowing the schedule for two weeks out. To plan anything I needed to either request time off three weeks ahead or else wait until the schedule came out and plan around it.

      REI

      Shipping & receiving
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, Great people, Great deals on merchandise, Low pressure

      Cons

      Low pay, Low hours for part time employees ( I hear that some stores are different and have a good bit of hours for part timers). Also it seems that there is a lack of respect for my position in particular, Shipping and receiving specialist is the lowest paying job in my store even though I am the only one with that title, does not make me feel special in a good way!

      It's Like Any Other Retail Job

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Flexible hours which is great if you are a student. We get discounts on clothes and gear. They have some benefits for part time people. The managers stay mostly in their office. We get free rentals.

      Cons

      Your budget is always tight working here so you really need two jobs to be able to pay your bills and have anything left over. On your feet all day. They only hire part time. They are constantly reminding us to sell memberships, and we don't get any commission on them.
