Great place to work, what are you smoking, I want some of it. I worked for REI for 7 years. Full time. I could pump gas and make more money. It’s a monster of a company. Its also voted one of 100 best employers every year. Who the hell votes for this? Not the EE’s. REI has more disgruntled EE’s than any other outdoor retailer. I would say the only good thing about it is the friends you make there and the return policy. Oh yeah. The benefits are pretty good as well. I had a 30,000 dollar surgery about 3 years ago, I only paid $10 co-pay.
REI needs to pay there EE’s what they are worth. Some of them are smart and very knowledgeable about what they are selling. These long time EE’s need to be compensated for there time there. They are not! This is a shame.
