      Very disillusioned about eroding company values.

      Pros

      All the Medical Benefits good

      Cons

      Think twice before working at REI. Long timers are sad to see REI becoming so corporate that it cares nothing for the well being of its employees. REI has lost sight of the important values that it claims to hold. It is sad to see a a company's values erode in its greedy clutch for money. The compensation is poor. There are really no perks.

      Pros

      It's an inspiring place to work. Had forgot what work-life balance was like until I came here. The people truly live the lifestyle. And you just can't beat the discounts and benefits.

      Cons

      Sometimes slow moving at HQ, in process of transition but it's looking for the better!

      Pros

      Great discounts, great co-workers and decent benefits

      Cons

      Increasing amount of dishonesty among supervisory personnel. Employees are constantly misled about what is going on with scheduling, availability of work and job security. Instead of treating employees with respect and encouragement, they are told "deal with it, or we will fill your position with temps"
