How employees describe working at REI
I've worked for REI for more than 3 years. I love it. The managers work hard to train and retain employees. The customers are usually great and really care about preserving and enjoying the outdoors. During a recent illness, I felt very supported by the company and my managers and coworkers.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Quality products at fair prices, particularly their own products and their co-op values, however, they have stayed from these values in the past seversl years snd moved to becoming like most ogher retailers in this cstrgory, and have lost some of my loyalty.
support of eachother, meaningful mission and purpose
Getting to meet the team was great.
Getting less and less hours and getting very poor messages from leadership
