Pros

You have an opportunity to help others change their lives. Personally, I have grown. I now have the ability to work in an extremely hostile work environment, yet was still able to survive and thrive!

Cons

Promotions are subjective - who like you? If you cannot work in an environment with fulltime employees working an average of 12-15 hours per week max, but those same employees are promoted and given professional training, then Goodwill is not the place for you!
