REI reviews

The single-most defining aspect of choosing to remain an employee at R.E.I was the employee discount on store merchandise. The job itself was relatively unfulfilling.

At REI, I gained exposure to some of the best products in the outdoor recreation industry. I felt that the management truly cared about the staff. The work environment was fun and relaxed, but also extremely professional and committed to providing the best customer service in the retail industry. The paid sales, service and product training is excellent and comprehensive while being extremely fun. The discount and Pro Deal program is awesome and gives you cheap access to some of the best gear around, but you have to be careful not to spend all your earnings on it!
