REI Systems reviews

HR does not look out for employees when issues are brought up. HR is only here to protect the company and not the employees. There is a lot of favoritism at this company. Management and some staff have no problem bad mouthing other employees in front of people. Some of the leadership is not qualified to be in positions of power since they lack leadership skills such as empathy and emotional intelligence. Employees that refuse to help others and gatekeep information are rewarded with bonuses and awards because management doesn’t know how to properly assess employees. Instead they promote and reward family and friends (a lot of them know each other outside of work). Some practices are shady, questionable and borderline discriminatory. If you’re not Indian you will not be treated equally and you may not be given the same job security and advancement opportunities. Even if you work hard and your work shows it, they will still let you go. There’s no job security here unless you’re a friend or family member of someone in leadership. Throughout my time at REI I saw several qualified people get let go. They don’t care about their employees livelihoods.
