Pros

They provide benefits to full time employees.

Cons

Very hard, demanding work. Wages are far below a living wage. Production demands are impossible to meet. Workers are threatened that they will be reprimanded if they call off work even with doctors notes.

Pros

Great healthcare and dental care if you're full time. Awesome benefits besides that: You can take out loans with them will basically 0% interest (once per year, up to $250). They really care about their employees, when my mom's house burnt down, they gave her a big gift card, even though I didn't live with her. They really do help the community, they have programs to train you for job skills, english as a second language classes, citizenship classes, and the list goes on. This is the only company I have ever worked for that I would actually suggest people work for; Ive worked for 7 different corporations. It's hard to get fired, they make allowances for people with disabilities more than I've seen anywhere else. The team atmosphere is really healthy.

Cons

*Starting pay is minimum wage, that's not enough for this job *Do not apply here if you want an easy job, it's not. I was a lead cashier and trained people all over the store, most people quit after two weeks, but those who don't, stay for years. *Management has no idea what they're doing most of the time *customers are horrendous. I mean it. Out of all the customer service jobs I have worked, nowhere have a been verbally abused as much as at goodwill. These customers are mean, and scrappy. HAVE THICK SKIN if you apply.
