The store is so Filthy, especially the warehouse. Dust and mold everywhere. Burnout, stressful, demanding, inconsistencies, micromanagement, toxic environment, terrible, lazy managers, overworked, soul crushing, mental/physical health constantly disregarded, workers are miserable, some brown nose too much for me

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.

Pros

none that I can think of

Cons

the previous one star review was spot on. Whomever wrote it should be commended ! Summed it up perfectly. Most co workers were great, that's about it. The problem is CEOs, HR, and management. The go out of their way to create a toxic environment. I should have known the moment I saw "we value our employees" pasted all over the walls. They treat grown adults as children. They even refuse to train new hires, then they have the nerve to fire them for poor performance ! The absolute worst thing about this place is their unrelenting pushing of their politics. They have employees in HR that go on social media for the sole purpose of "getting" anyone that thinks differently than the political agenda they push. They fire people as if they are pieces of discarded meat. This is just scratching the surface of the psychological games they play. I only wish someone would have the guts to bring a lawsuit against them, because it would be totally warranted. . The pervasive culture of fear instilled a constant sense of unease and hindered any chance of open and honest communication. They pry into personal lives. I've personally been asked by mgmt. to view my cell phone texts! Only place I've ever worked where HR is anti employee ! It's insanity. Please stay away if you value your sanity. It's extremely cult-like and has a very high turnover. I was there for 2 years, and over 45 employees came and went in that time .
