REI Compensation Employee Reviews

I earn vacation and sick leave as a part-time worker and have a generous medical leave package. REI also contributes to my retirement.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Pro Deals that give me a big discount off gear

Time off, investment opps, health/dental/eye care, discounts

There is flexibility on choices. And, they offer investment options along with 401K.

Base pay and bonus are more than fair

Paid time off accrual is generous and so is the employer contribution to health insurance.

Vacation time and descent flexibility. I wish i was making a little more money though.

Being able to afford the products and test it out that I can present good products that best suit a customers need.

I'm not really sure if?

Review from Sales Dept

Good insurance benefits which is now available for new-hires, 401k

healthcare is top notch for sure

I enjoy the ability and freedom to take off as many days as I want to when needed, and the extra paid days off (way days) offered throughout the year!

Fair for the work done

They have good discounts for their employees

The package is More than market average

Competitive pay and generous life partner benefits

The pay is great aling with the benefits and opportunities REI provides

Review from Sales Dept

it saves me from having to get obamacare

You can still get the benefits as a part time employee

Review from Sales Dept

Its really hard to move up with REI. The longer you are there, the more you feel stuck and under-appreciated.

Roadmaps are ignored for reactionary decisions without data or explanation

undervalued and need to give out better raises

PG loves to fire people.

That’s hard to say. I have been with the company for 15 years. There use to be so many good things. There isn’t much good left anymore. A lot of the things that had made the company great and fun have been taken a

I would feel better if my annual salary had even remotely kept up with inflation, but instead I am basically making less money than I was 3 years ago. They also keep changing our benefits and bonus structure in ways that are unfavorable to the employees.

Our pay at HQ has not kept up with increases at retail. We are an absolute afterthought at the individual contributor level. Directors and Managers are paid well, but individual buyers and analysts get the shaft.

Leadership team does not listen to front line employees. Higher hourly pay, guaranteed schedule, better health care plan

I felt undervalued because I came to REI with 20 plus years of hiking and backpacking experience in the white mountains of New Hampshire and that experience was used to move young people that came to REI through the management chain.

I waa not able to pay my team what they deserved.

Instead of investing in their existing staff, REI has chosen to open five new stores along with a distribution centre this past year. They laid off 8% of headquarter jobs, and 2% (275) of employees this year. They are hiring 1300 new people, all while saying they aren't profitable.

Low pay, no hours, and if we're not on time everyday we get written up

With the cost of living raise, they gave the new employees bigger raise of the people been there, 25+ years I made them to make almost as much as a People them in their lot longer with more experience in the hard workers

Review from Operations Dept

Wage commensurate with the skills required for my team to do job successfully ir at least anliving wage with a reliable schedule. It is not possible to make plans to get outside with the erratic schedule, often with non-consecutive days off, even when scheduled far less than 40 hours

Better pay, thats livable and more communication surrounding fair wages.

There is a tendency to not accommodate needs of employees.

Review from Sales Dept

The pay is garbage and any complaints or concerns get ignored. Try to distract by pointing out diversity and pronoun usage. PAY US DECENTLY.

They tell you fairy tales to keeo you on. Working at REI is like having a toxic boyfriend that says he will change then turns around and cheats on you.

We need at least $20 an hour if we have worked over a year and are trusted to run our department.

Ranges are not keeping up with market
