Pros

we recently got 1.50 pay raise for everyone who is starting out (cashier, sales associate, etc.) We get every other weekend off (Saturday and Sunday). I work with some really great people.

Cons

Some of the customers already get a really great deal, and they complain anyway. For example: they will take an adult women's shirt and try to convince cashiers it's a kids shirt on Toddler Thursday. Some of the special deals (like half off furniture) is vague on which ones is considered furniture so the customers think it's everything in furniture section like a lamp or record player and get mad when we have to tell them it's not furniture special. Some of the newer managers (who aren't new anymore) could be better at being a manager. Sometimes I have to teach her how to do things at the register!

Pros

Great manager and team members. Flexible work schedule and easy workplace. I am familiar in local community and its work culture.

Cons

Slow response from Goodwill hiring management. Even though their career website have available job positions in locations where I live nearby, but I wish I get response from hiring management to have an interview and move forward with hiring process.
