Pros
Fantastic benefits and discounts. Positive up beat staff. Well managed.
Cons
I found that my training was very inefficient. I was often reprimanded for making mistakes, however, most of the mistakes were due to the fact that it was not covered in training. Even as a cashier, you have many responsibilities. I feel as though it took me two months to feel confident, and even after that I was still discovering things not covered in training. Also on a more personal note, REI employees are very clique-ish. If you don't fit the typical "hippie, go green" type, then it can be VERY difficult to fit in. I'm not happy working there, but I stay because it has great benefits for a retail position.
