Pros
REI has a great overall culture. The types of people that want to work here share an enthusiasm for the outdoors and are generally at REI because they want to be. If you are motivated and interested, there are options for advancement within the company.
Cons
Although you set your availability, your working hours may vary greatly week to week, both in terms of totals time and specific schedule. The pay is not great, and the path to advancement is fairly narrow in scope. Because REI is large, there is a top down structure, and even store managers have limited flexibility in how they do their job, so those at the bottom are pretty much a peg in a hole.
