Pros

They give you a chance when you are down. Workers work well together.

Cons

If you are working at a Goodwill Outlet location it is more like a labor job than a retail job. They pace of the work makes you very tired and for that reason you get paid slightly more than a retail associate working somewhere else. You are also expected to rush through your task to constantly rush products out to the floor.
