Goodwill reviews

Heavy lifting, not for feeble yet many fellow employees I met were either elderly, crazy, or super young high school and college students and this was one of their first jobs. For the elderly crowd if was their last job before retirement. For the crazy, this was the only place that would hire them. Workplace bullying, sexual harassment, political and religious harassment and favoritism was rampant. Also, Goodwill is lawsuit scared, news media scared, and frequently paranoid about loss prevention to the point of having cameras everywhere, strict policies, a reporting hotline and management that was quick to accuse if you were doing anything out of the ordinary because it was nearly the only way to fire someone on the spot. Like a witch hunt. So even though to get hired you had to do a criminal background check and drug test, they ask you if you are stealing. If they can’t peg that on you as an honest citizen then they pull out the “time theft” policy and claim that you are stealing company time by taking a break or sitting down at all during the work day. Crazy place.

The placement specialist team is constantly being left out by grant leadership and HR. on numerous occasions, HR has refused to give our team a raise while other grant employees and leadership get a raise. If they don’t change this, they will be out of an entire placement specialist team.
