      The very best retailer to work for.

      Pros

      People matter. The Cooperative is working very hard to do right by the customers and employees. Business prospects are good with growing opportunity in the company. Great benefits, a sense of community. Small company feeling in a large company. Healthy lifestyle encouragement.

      Cons

      REI isn't the best at rolling out new technology but give employees what we need to get the job done. Some systems are not intuitive in the Apple operating system age.

      REI is a CO-OP and is one of the best Retail Organizations to work for

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The ability to look out 10 years+. We need to make sure the CO-OP is around 100 years from now and we don't need to look at making a $1.00 for the street and we don't have to worry about the CO-OP being sold due to ownerships end of life.

      Cons

      Work life balance is unbalanced. REI growth and change is fast, quick and a struggle to keep up with.
