A solid company to work for, as far as retail goes
Pros
I don't think I could have more fun working in a retail environment. Management did a fantastic job of hiring all of our staff (head office and HR were heavily involved which is more than I can say for allot of other retail store opens), there isn't a single person on the team who doesn't get along. The management are fair, supportive, and genuinely seem to care about their employees.
Cons
Perhaps the only real con that comes to mind at current time is that Columbia Sportswear only hires "part time" floor/stock staff despite many of us continually working full time hours, I.E essentially a way of skirting benefits. I understand this is common practice in the industry but it would be nice to see a progressive company like Columbia be more supportive of its employees.
