REI reviews

A workplace environment that is toxic and fosters a culture of distrust, where managers focus on catching and accusing employees of doing something wrong, and coworkers are encouraged to report on each other over petty grievances. These tactics create an atmosphere that is discouraging, uncomfortable, and counterproductive to morale and employee well being. It borders on harassment. They neither value nor respect the employees. Raises are minimal.

Pay for people in merchandising and planning/replen has been stagnant for the last 5 years. Through the pandemic, retail salaries went up and HQ salaries got cut. Our leadership has taken every opportunity to explain why salaries won’t be going up to match the increase in cost of living and never once taken the opportunity to address the concerns of the team around pay. We are losing good people ALL the time, I cannot recommend REI as place to work if competitive pay is a priority for you.
