Pros

Excellent employee discount if you do a lot of outdoor stuff.

Cons

Pay isn't too great and the current economy won't help. If you're only looking for a short job, it would be fine. Don't look for long term growth in the retail sector, especially with a company based off of people extra money.

Pros

People sincerely care about one another - support one another - celebrate each others successes. REI has core values that are more than just words - they are a guide on how we run our business.

Cons

The product discounts can be dangerous if you don't have willpower!
