Pros

They really "walk the walk" when it comes to work-life balance. Employees take this seriously and (in my department, anyway) no one is looking over your shoulder counting your hours/minutes - as long as you're getting the job done, you can be pretty flexible.

Cons

Salary is a little low for comparable positions, but for me the company culture, values, and quality of life more than make up for it.

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)
