Vantaggi

This is cliché, but my immediate co-workers were great people. Also, one thing I do appreciate is them taking Black Friday off. That's one thing I haven't seen other retail companies do.

Svantaggi

Nonetheless, no matter how this company tries to spin itself, at its core, it's still a company whose number-one priority is profit. Problem is, this company has been losing money, so there's some "floundering" going on. When you start, the initial onboarding is pretty okay (it has ALOT of "kool-aid"), but once you get your schedule & hit the floor, you realize this company is nothing special; you'll be expected to push membership & credit cards (alot) to customers, even though you get no commission for it... Also, management isn't as inspiring as they think they are. And if you're looking for consistent hours....lol. All I'm gonna say is, if you're part-time, make sure you have another job to fall on, because the hours are wildly inconsistent here; you may work just 8 hours on certain weeks. The job itself isn't "bad," but again, don't fall for the "kool-aid." You should see this place as just another company where you get your paycheck and leave, because you're not doing anything special. And again, if you're part-time here, please make sure you a have another job and are in college, because there is no future here anymore.

Vantaggi

Most coworkers, some managers, discounts, outfitting people properly without extra nonsense

Svantaggi

Some truly horrible managers, pressure to sell credit cards is a morale killer, the union people. Employees drinking the union kool aid fail to see the company’s position, REI cannot give higher pay, better benefits , consistent hours, etc… with the erratic revenue stream that comes in , if a 5 year average is X in revenue and 5 year average is Y on wages and costs, how are they supposed to increase wages and benefits? It’s numbers and they don’t line up, if REI gives the increases which increases the expenses greatly, they will cut staff, a lot fewer employees which will eliminate a bunch of union supporters, an REI job is not supposed to be a lucrative deal, when you get hired the part time , part time plus and full time options are there and you choose what you want fully understanding what hours you are going to get at minimum, they will hire those positions on a need basis, to cry later that you don’t make enough money is your fault, the terms were clear and you signed off on them. The union is promising rainbows , reality will be far different, careful what you wish for
