      Pros

      I can't say enough good things about the people and the vision of the company. The leadership at REI really walks the talk when it comes to being true to the outdoors and environmental stewardship. I was challenged and encouraged to try new things and take control over my own growth.

      Cons

      While the benefits are good, the salary is not as competitive as it should be for a company relocating to Bellevue. Leadership should also be more transparent in it's decision making and growth plans. Their seems to be a schism growing between retail and corporate, changing the benefits package between what corporate receives and what retail receives didn't seem very equitable.

      Pros

      Great Discount and experience with customers.

      Cons

      Culture is typical of America in 2019 in the sense that everyone seems to be trying to prove to each other how "woke" they are about sustainability, but when you attempt to have an honest discussion about differences of opinion if you do not follow the company line you will outcast.
