Recreation is our business, and REI offers a great work environment that balances hard work with time off to play. We offer a flexible work schedule, opportunity for benefits, advancement opportunities, outstanding sales and product training, incentive program, a generous merchandise discount to help you enjoy your free time, and - most importantly - a work environment where respect for the individual and teamwork are our fundamental employee values. REI was recently ranked 9th among the "100 Best Companies to Work For" by FORTUNE magazine. Founded in 1938 as a consumer co-op by a group of Pacific Northwest mountaineers, REI is a national multi-channel retailer of quality outdoor products and currently operates over 80 stores in 24 states. A portion of our profits is set aside each year for support of conservation, outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship causes
