Pros

Came back to work at REI after a hiatus. I actually missed working there and was glad to be back. REI is great about taking back former employees (if there is an opening).

Cons

There are no cons I can think of. It’s a retail job and while it’s fun, the cons are just the reality of working a part-time sales job.

Cons

hours are hard for students, frequent leader switch which meant new systems were implemented every year-ish
