Review from Customer Support Dept
support of eachother, meaningful mission and purpose
When its fun, its great!
We introduce people to outdoor activities
Everyone feels valued. Lots of opprtunities for learning about new gear. Super suppotive
REI gives to some good organizations
The customers and making friends! I feel safe in being who I am. We are encouraged to take ownership of our role when we interact with customers, meaning we are the experts helping our customers be experts at being in the outdoors.
Co-workers will give shout-outs for a job well done. We teach each other. We all have stories to share.
everyone does treat you with respect even if they dont have the answer you want
The store team culture where I work is great. Many of the people who work for REI are also wonderful.
champion for everyone. Equity diversity and inclusion
Review from Customer Support Dept
We encouage all to love and enjoy the outdoors. We are diverse.
The people and the customers
The supervisor is what makes the environment a better place. They can only do so much. Not much to say about higher up
Culture is the reason that people come to REI, it is too bad that the top level executives who have come from other companies for the culture are doing their best to destroy it.
I don't know if I can say anything, because I believe the companies lost its values.
Review from Sales Dept
The people who work there are the most positive. The managers are not.
When not being laid off, most team members are able to bond over common interests and will sometimes go on outings together. Real sense of being invested in each other's success. Some managers are approachable, some are less effective but can be helpful in contexts.
Being able to work remotely
Everyone is collaborative, managers are supportive, and coworkers are respectful, kind, and cool people. Everyone comes together to make the store a better place.
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Value employees more and listen to feedback
I don't work there anymore because they broke me. I worked hard assed restaurants for 35 years. I came to REI with a great story and great enthusiasm and REI broke me. I have never worked in an environment where I wasn't recognized and rewarded for my hard work
Stop being a bunch of liberal d bags
Feedback from employees and doing what we communicate, interacting with customers via chauk biards, maps etc
Review from Sales Dept
Better management of the employees better benefits employees go forward as they say not backwards. Stop taking away our good benefits.
Review from Operations Dept
Everyone. It is deeply flawed but mainly managers and corporate need to stop looking at employees at "green vests" and acknowledge them and actual human beings who are only working here to pay our rent, not to expand the CONSUMER(not for the workers) "co-op"
Review from Sales Dept
Inclusiveness, not the faceplate kind but a true branding from the inside out.
Review from Sales Dept
No sexism, less manipulatiin from managers, being given proper living wage hours instead of having to beg to given proper work hours
Starts from the top, if you espouse change and valuing opinions than stop listening to those who pander. Encourage people to disagree without facing punitive action in performance or projects. Trust that you hire smart people. Care more about growing then failing and you'll stop failing.
A store manager who wants to work at our location, regularly told why she didn't want to work at our location. More diversity and inclusion, along with accountability for and from our district manager
Review from Sales Dept
Better leaders, better communication, stronger teams
