      Very Average Pay, Good Benefits

      Pros

      REI is a cool place to work, but does not pay well unless you reach upper management. They offer a very good benefits package and also offer a limited benefits package to part time employees. Very nice discount of items they sell!

      Cons

      REI does not pay well, they donate millions of dollars to communities around the country but really do not pay their employees as much as they should in my opinion. So if you are looking to make good money, this probably isn't the place for you.

      Pros

      Balance, fun, awesome values and a different kind of retail. Creativity is encouraged and recognition comes often. REI practices what it preaches.

      Cons

      To much inconsistency from store to store based on direction given by store management. Systems are horribly out-dated and need to be improved.
