Pros

It is satisfying to see your training efforts help disadvantaged people to gain employment and become independent productive members of society. It is nice to see that the money received from donated goods really does go back into helping displaced and disabled persons in the community instead of into the pockets of upper management or on wasted ideas/things.

Cons

I have found upper management positions (store manager, assistant manager) to be filled by lazy people that do not set a good example for junior staff. However you get what you pay for. The wages for management positions are very low and they offer no financial incentives (ie. monthly or annual bonuses) to offset the low hourly wage.
