Pros

Senior leaders are great and very approachable. I have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the future of the organization and still have great worklife balance. Our five-year is exciting and inspiring. We aren't publicly traded so we don't have to react to the quarterly Wall Street mania. We play the long game which enables us to to the right thing for employees, members and our community! We walk the talk :-).

Cons

No organization is perfect and the pace of change has been slower than I've been accustomed to but that is is much improved in the last few years. We are experiencing growing pains which is hard on people who have been here a long time and understandable to newer folks who have already experienced this elsewhere.

Pros

REI Corporate looking to the future every year...5 10 15 + years down the road to have a plan in place to be a better company

Cons

Slow going...Sales specialists with great innovative ideas seem to be bogged down in managements processes. Lots of great new ideas do not always see the light of day.
