REI Profile
Company Description
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 sells all of the top outdoor brands for hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, paddling and winter sports, as well as its own high-quality line of award-winning gear and apparel. While anyone may join or shop at REI, members pay a one-time $20 fee and receive a share in the company’s profits through an annual member refund based on their purchases.
A portion of REI’s profits is set aside each year for support of conservation, outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship causes. REI currently operates 70+ stores in the US; two online stores – REI.com and REI-OUTLET.com – and an adventure travel company, REI Adventures.
Recreation is our business, and REI offers a great work environment that balances hard work with time off to play. We offer an excellent compensation package, flexible benefits, an outstanding retirement plan, incentive program, relocation assistance, 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 is consistently ranked among the “100 Best Companies to Work For” by FORTUNE magazine. If you’d like to join us and be rewarded for initiative, effort and creative thought, apply today!
REI is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
