Best retail job I can think of.

Pros

A lot of benefits after 6months employment. Pretty decent discount (50% on REI brand). Kind employees. Paid training. Discounts on ski passes.

Cons

Extremely low, unlivable entry wage $10.30hr. Management can put sales/ pressuring sales above service at times. The pay is the only real negative I can think of.

Pros

Community, Customers, opportunity to grow. Management is very supportive of your desire to move up. Customer interaction is the best, so fun.

Cons

Can be hard to get hours if it is your only job. Great if you have full time position there or working with REI part time and full time position elsewhere.

Pros

The people that work there are simply the best. Training is great, the days are fun. So many toys, so many discounts!

Cons

The pay is just alright, though pretty good for retail. Promotion opportunities in management and to HQ are difficult and confusing.
