Pros

I enjoyed my time at Goodwill for the most part. The company is very supportive and accommodating to unique needs and is very flexible with scheduling. The work itself could be a lot, but you do receive adequate breaks and downtime in my opinion. It's a great job to start out with if you've never worked a "real" job before. The benefits are also surprisingly good.

Cons

Like I said, the work was intense at times, and sometimes you don't receive the support you need to complete your tasks. You also end up wearing many hats, as I did a little bit of everything in my downtime.

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.
