Pluspunten

- Flexible work schedule - Great co-workers and members (for the most part) - Most managers are authentic and easy to get along with - Good health benefits (though not as good as they were a few years ago) - Great deals on gear and clothing - Company is "greener" and more community-minded than most (though maybe not as much as they claim to be) - Paid sabbatical after 15 years

Minpunten

- Salary far below industry standards - Few opportunities for promotion, especially outside of retail management - Stores are chronically understaffed - Seems to be straying from the "cooperative" ideals more each year

Pluspunten

Most coworkers, some managers, discounts, outfitting people properly without extra nonsense

Minpunten

Some truly horrible managers, pressure to sell credit cards is a morale killer, the union people. Employees drinking the union kool aid fail to see the company’s position, REI cannot give higher pay, better benefits , consistent hours, etc… with the erratic revenue stream that comes in , if a 5 year average is X in revenue and 5 year average is Y on wages and costs, how are they supposed to increase wages and benefits? It’s numbers and they don’t line up, if REI gives the increases which increases the expenses greatly, they will cut staff, a lot fewer employees which will eliminate a bunch of union supporters, an REI job is not supposed to be a lucrative deal, when you get hired the part time , part time plus and full time options are there and you choose what you want fully understanding what hours you are going to get at minimum, they will hire those positions on a need basis, to cry later that you don’t make enough money is your fault, the terms were clear and you signed off on them. The union is promising rainbows , reality will be far different, careful what you wish for
