Pros

Goodwill has been exceptionally good to me. I love my management and my employees. The pay is higher than most in equivalent positions elsewhere in my area and in the country. The benefits are competitive but in addition to that Goodwill offers its employees many ways to improve oneself through offering classes that you get paid for while attending among many other opportunities to grow as a person and an employee whether with Goodwill or somewhere else. They really encourage us to be the best people we can be and have been tremendously patient and supportive of me and all the other employees when it comes to accommodating for whatever unique challenges we may be facing on or off the job. Frankly, when I read some of the negative reviews I am completely shocked. Those folks leaving those reviews are the ones who don’t care to explore what Goodwill can offer them and are the type that have no interest in self growth or advancement, at least that how it looks to me because I have had nothing but positive experiences working here and will stay with the company as long as they will keep me. Are they perfect? Who is? But they are excellent in many ways and I wear my employment with them proudly. I am grateful for the opportunities I am given and the self improvement they pay me to pursue!

Cons

Being understaffed at times creates challenges at times but we always overcome and move forward. Upper management understands the issue and works hard to support us through the deficits and works to fulfill and offset them.

Pros

Having a full-time job in town.

Cons

1. Management is detatched and jaded from working at Goodwill, and will want you to feel the same, and they will wonder how you can come into work in a good mood every day, while they can not. 2. Goodwill is not a charity organization, the money they earn (from free donted goods) is used to pay minimum wage employees, while the rest is used to line the CEO/Owners pockets. 3. There was a hiring/promotion freeze at the location I was working at, so any transfer or promotion was automatically denied without consideration, and you were locked into your role for an indeterminate amount of time. 4. All store employees were told hours were to be distrubuted to "whoever works the hardest." 5. Absolutely unbearible amounts of pressure and time-crunches.
