Pros

Goodwill offers a chace for many people to work that most employers don't. Gret schedule and hours for a management position. Most weeks are 50 hours a week. No crazy hours.

Cons

Very low pay. Most employees are only paid minium wage and they wounder why there is high turnover. Goodwill is a stepping stone opportunity.

Pros

Some Friendly Customers Decent Schedule Not many night hours THINKING I was helping the less fortunate Only place to offer me a job when I needed one

Cons

VERY unsafe neighborhood People wanting free hand outs Management taking credit for employee decisions Ability to be terminated based on lies Lied to about raises, promotions, and bonuses Low-level employees don't see any "profit sharing" at this non-profit. Management sees hundreds of thousands. Took advantage of my skills and my dependence on their paycheck.

Non-profit organization for a good cause

Cons

Very little communication from upper management. Worked there for three months before having any communication with my direct supervisor. Deceptive when hired me. Lied about the availability of raises.
