Pros

The job is not complicated and customers were easy to help in my time there. You get some good deals on products.

Cons

- Unreasonable late policy, that is designed to target certain types of employees. - Management has poor communication. - Management has poor employee evaluation skills or is not permitted to think critically. - Although I was working part-time seasonal, management seemed to favors certain employees for time-off requests.

Pros

- Excellent coworkers - REI does a great job of hiring enthusiastic and personable staff - Slightly better pay compared with other retail in the area - Prodeals and discounts - Flexible hours - Good (although rapidly diminishing) healthcare benefits

Cons

- Once a (better) company known for its investment in knowledgeable and friendly staff via extensive training and investment, the company has been slowly slashing away at most of what makes it special since the pandemic - Hours and benefits are worsening, proper employee training is becoming hard to come by - lots of mediocrity and sometimes questionable ethical calls made by management - Punitive disciplinary policies that seem to be designed to create higher turnover (advantageous to them given the gradual pay, benefit and policy changes)
