Overall a good place to work

Pros

REI does try to live by its values of promoting and protecting the outdoors. It seems like the upper management does care about the employees

Cons

Constant restructuring and layoffs. It feel like design/creative is always on a very tight budget while other departments spend freely.

Pros

some paid time off and benefits but it is generally pretty performative

Cons

No better than any other retail job, they use a lot of language to make it seem like a uniquely positive work environment when it is not. They push selling memberships way too hard.
