Pros
I have worked part-time for Goodwill Industries for almost 6 years while attending high school and college. They have very flexible scheduling and I have met SOME pretty great people.
Cons
Goodwill has unrealistic expectations for their goals and quota, especially for how little they pay. Each year they give a TINY raise, maximum 3%. Corporate is greedy and management is filled with drama. There's practically a new manager every year and new regular retail employees every month-three months, not exaggerating. I think that says in itself how well this company treats their employees. Their mission? Please...one of the least genuine companies out there. Also, I would like to add that I exceeded the goals and quota they had set for me. I was an excellent employee who was punctual, professional, hardworking, and provided great customer service. They always told me I was a good employee. However, I tried time and time again to move up in the company. They would not even give me a single interview. They reasoned that I had no experience for any other position, so I could not move up. How am I supposed to gain experience when they wont give me a chance? And for that reason among many, is why I am leaving the company.
