What are some of the best things about your team?

Employees at REI are great. They have amazing knowledge and are a fun group of people to work with in a regular basis.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

REI refuses to put it's money where it's mouth is when it comes to employee compensation. They expect you to feel lucky that you work there but constantly over promise and under deliver when it comes to employee compensation.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

REI considers itself a pay for performance company but constantly underpays hard working employees. They will also cling to one thing you need to improve as a reason to not give you a raise. The pay scale needs to be drastically restructured.
