Pros

Goodwill of North Georgia is a very profitable not-for-profit agency that enables people to become gainfully employed. Because of the new labor law, Assistant Managers now earn $47,500 annually. Previous annual salary was $38,000.

Cons

Hourly employees who are empowered to generate sales should be paid more money! Currently hourly employees earn $8.00 an hour. They should increase their rate of pay, since they're the ones who do the pricing of the donated goods that customers buy. Next, management work six-in-half days a week when stores do not make their monthly budget. Management schedule is never final. Subject to change at any time, and it changes often! While vacation is mentioned in meetings, it is hard to get one. It's hard to meet the budget when you are depending on donation. And management are punished by working six-in-a-half days week, currently 8.5 hours or more a day.
