Pros

Stand by the employees and understand the true meaning of work life balance. REI wants everyone to succeed and is an easy company to work for.

Cons

Like any and all other retail based compaines there is a large flux of growth and downtime based on the overall economy.

Pros

Pro Deals rock! There are a lot of very good people their. The turn over is very low. People don't like to leave.

Cons

Turnover is very low, there are folks in IT who have been there for 20 years. They still live in a mainframe world. Outsiders don't get let into the club easily.

Pros

The company takes a very pro-active approach to supporting employees and making REI an employer of choice. I've worked here for a few years and I'm continually impressed with the senior leadership of the company. I feel so lucky to work for REI.

Cons

REI is a retailer, we have ups and down in business volume. As long as you understand the season and what to expect, there isn't a problem.
