Pros

Fulfilling employment in the Human Services, opens doors to better non-profits. Hourly staff within HS are very friendly and hard working.

Cons

Does not compensate fairly, regardless of performance or experience Very shady communication. Empty promises. Employer states constantly in "pay/promotion freeze" for all hourly employees when annual review/raise time comes; however, promotes around 10 managers into newly created "director" positions with significant raises. Despite no increased compensation for hourly employees, managers continue to recieve merit raises/promotions for poor performance.

Pros

The people you work with are for the most part, great. They make the day go by fast, even when donations are heavy. Pay is fair, along with management treatment. When it's not busy, sometimes you have time to catch up on other duties in the store, but it's good.

Cons

Rumors. People gossip in stores like no end. Most of it's nonsense, but some of it could be hurtful at times. Not many cons to speak of.
