Life with the co-op
Our four core principles
“I've spent the last six and a half years working for the Co-op. The kindred spirit of curiosity and adventure that I share with my co-workers has kept me with REI. It's not often that you elect to spend your free time with the people you work with!”
Greg Ryan, Senior Shipping & Receiving Specialist

“My favorite thing about guiding is leading a group of people from different backgrounds with a common goal of challenging themselves, learning new skills, enjoying beautiful landscapes and making new friends.”
