Pros
WFH is nice. Nobody expects you ever complete a project, because it isn’t cultural at REI to be innovative, driven, or hard charging. As long as you smile and use your pronouns, it’s an easy low 6 figures.
Cons
REI’s leadership is known to largely be incompetent. Most of them are sadly disrespected by the company; but insulated by the like minded yes-people they surround themselves with of common sentiment. They are driving the company into the dirt, and despite not having made a single cent in 3 or so years, somehow they continue to stay the course. Their lack of independent thinking, failures stemming from emotional feel-good decisions, and continuation of failed policies, are putting a critical strain on business, morale, and this brand.
