Great environment with dedicated staff passionate about and with similar interests.

Pros

Good work environment, people you get to work with are very knowledgeable and kind

Cons

The company does not promote their own employees easily. If you have worked here for more than three months you have to go through a process of endorsement in order to move up in the company. However if you have not worked at REI or have been there less than three months than you may apply to higher positions. I find it to be an unfair process
