Pros

REI gives it's employees great deals on gear. It is non commissioned sales which creates a relaxed environment where you can really serve customers well and spend time getting to know them and make them feel valued. The flexibility to take unpaid time off(at least as a part time employee) is amazing and makes a lot of flexibility to play in the outdoors.

Cons

Less flexibility during holidays and sales. Don't expect to make a bunch of money. ~$10 an hour. Managers don't make a ton more. Not the greatest opportunity for advancement compared with other fields.
