      Pros

      Fantastic people to work with, company that promotes very strong values and lives them through the business.

      Cons

      Lack of decisive leadership, very slow to adopt change and take the best ideas from new employees and incorporate, compensation is average and tiresome, slow career path due to lack of movement in management, poor accountability structure

      R.E.I. from a corporate level may look good but once you get down to the store level, that's a different story.

      Pros

      The pro-deals are great, and a few instore deals are good too. Being able to meet and hang out with like minded people.

      Cons

      MEMBERSHIPS !!!! That is the only thing they are worried about, if you fall short of your goal you lost hours. Over the years product knowledge has slipped and seems to be a non concerned that employees have any. Weeding out employees with tenure to reduce payroll. Incompetent Managers and Supervisors. As employees we take a yearly survey and the Management portion of the review consistently and porgressively get worst but yet they suffer no consequences.
