Pros

Great people, good values, good perks, flexible

Cons

Pay for people in merchandising and planning/replen has been stagnant for the last 5 years. Through the pandemic, retail salaries went up and HQ salaries got cut. Our leadership has taken every opportunity to explain why salaries won’t be going up to match the increase in cost of living and never once taken the opportunity to address the concerns of the team around pay. We are losing good people ALL the time, I cannot recommend REI as place to work if competitive pay is a priority for you.

Pros

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

Cons

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
