Hiring Process REI Jobs Question

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I've been considering getting a job at my local REI. Problem has been, when I go to the website there are never any openings listed for the location I'm interested in. When I physically go to my store, there are always new employees so somehow they're getting hired. Next time I go in, I'll ask someone about it. I have looked periodically on the website for probably 2 years now, and there is never anything listed for the store in question. Searching today reveals 18 positions, all are Seattle Washington/Remote. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something about the hiring process I'm missing?

Question REI CIRCLING THE DRAIN?

0 Upvotes

Walked into an REI store in King of Prussia PA today, looks like there’s way less stock, tons of clearance items, empty shelves… How much longer do you think they can hang on? Been reading stories of cutbacks, salaries, being slashed, labor problems…Would be sad to see them go.

Full List of Rules	This rule list is a summary of consistent ones that pop up, so please check out the full rules list here.
1.1 Personal Attacks	Comments and posts that are intended to attack or insult other users are not allowed. It's okay to disagree with someone, but using ad hominem attacks instead of having an actual discussion is not acceptable.
1.2 Discrimination	The outdoors is for all, period. Attacks based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, nationality, ancestry, or religion are prohibited. Civil discussion is permitted, but using these traits as weapons is not.
1.3 Witch-Hunting & Call to Action	It is strictly prohibited to engage in witch-hunting activities on this subreddit, and any sort of promotion or request for raiding somewhere is not allowed. Any attempts to rally the community for a particular purpose, such as voting for a poll, promoting a boycott, or advertising a petition, will be removed as it is considered a "call to action."

2.3 Recently Posted Topics	Reposted topics are not allowed. Threads that focus on topics that have been discussed at high frequency or cover information from the same angle will be removed. Please use the Reddit search bar, check /new, or the front page as this is a topic that has been largely posted/discussed recently.
