Pros

Great manager; helpful and fun coworkers; helps people with no experience/disabilities/criminal records get a foot in the door

Cons

Very busy/aggressive customers on sale days; lots of transactions required a manager to open the drawer, check high bills, etc; you aren't allowed to shop at the store you work at. After speaking with a friend who worked at a Goodwill in Minnesota, I learned that they are managed very differently from state to state - she did not have to deal with some of the same restrictions that I did (ie. shopping at the store you work at) and was even paid higher hourly, even though the minimum wage is lower in MN.

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
