And, it'll retain resale value for when you decide that you really like riding and want to upgrade.
I've found the quality of the initial adjustments depends on the store and person you get, so you may have to make a few trips if you are unlucky. While it's definitely better service than any big box store, it's not always as good a dedicated bike shop in my experience. My wife and I both have CTY 1.1 bikes and hers was adjusted perfectly while mine had some noticeable issues. My first visit back they told me these were normal for this level of components despite my wife's bike being able to be adjusted properly. A second visit addressed it.
Additionally, this REI bikes is designed for a different type of riding. Which brings up something else that the REI staff will do for you: fit you to the right type of bike for what you intend to do with it.

Granted, this requires customizing the bike and not a lot of people have the desire to do that. Also, it only comes in a large size frame.

The REI is a hybrid and a much better on pavement bike, the Axum is a Hard Tail STARTER mountain bike.
And the REI is just a nicer bike. I have test rode them. I own an Axum as a beater.
