Pros
You will find climbing partners, riding buddies, hiking pals and knowledgeable, motivated co-workers, and the type of customer REI seems to attract are mostly positive people. Health insurance for part time workers is brilliant, and the number of ProDeals available will tempt you.
Cons
REI caters to the beginning outdoors enthusiast, its mission is to bring people outdoors. Therefore, you wont find really high end gear there as part of their normal in store inventory, but it is available online. Its Retail, so say goodbye to your weekends. Hours assigned are unofficially tied to membership sales, and in some markets its policy.
