Pros

First, the pay is amazing starting off. Goodwill is very generous with hourly workers. It is a great place to work considering heavy customer service and being one on one with the public a lot. The work is NOT difficult. The work is quite easy and steady making your day go by faster. Very helpful and kind people that work at the corporate sites.

Cons

Politics, if you don't kiss butt working there don't expect to advance. Goodwill loves people without minds to do whatever they want them to do. If you step on the wrong persons toes don't expect to have your job for too long because there is favoritism with managers and employees. There is also ALOT of pressure to get numbers and money in the door. If your store isn't making a certain amount of money, they are forced to cut some employees.

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.
