Pros

It's a job..... You can pay some bills. You can have self esteem in yourself for trying to make a living.

Cons

The fake non profit should just make an announcement and say, "We've decided to head in a new direction. That direction, is For Profit". If that happened, this review wouldn't be necessary. VP and Director positions sit at cozy 6 figure salaries. Some directors even make $250,000 annually, not including their bonuses as well. Don't believe me? Then YouTube "Dateline's" special on Goodwill. The org pays the handicap employees below minimum wage, ranging grotesquely from 0.22 cents an hour and up. Imagine your blind daughter or son being timed to complete a task, then being told because they're not fast enough, subliminally that their not good enough, and their pay is going to be cut. Their motto is "transforming lives through the power of work". Despicable. They should all be ashamed of themselves. It's the silent owners who actually are in command. They look from their ivory white towers down below, they disregard their peons, then they laugh at their grand scale of deception and greed. Bottom-line, this org only cares about money. Absolutely Zero care for you, unless, your high enough in the game. If your coming here for a mission, I hate to tell you, its nothing more then a corporate, greedy, backstabbing, CYA, underpaying, deceptive, miserable job within most departments. I'm not disgruntled, I'm just telling it like it is.

Pros

Goodwill will hire individuals who have barriers to employment and provide them with a competitive hourly rate. Benefits were good. Goodwill has invested in hiring real retail professionals recently and the disruption of the retail culture in place to a more productive results based culture has begun. Accountability what a concept!

Cons

Company is in transition the retail component 21 stores locally are struggling to meet sales expectations. New upper management hires such as Director of Retail may bring this wandering vessel back on course to profitability. Some of the austerity plans proposed such as limiting full time hours to 35 a week are a bit harsh but seem to be the answer for slowing sales volume? Store level management with few exceptions are mediocre at best and are the result of a lack of cohesive leadership plan. Company empowers employees and thats great but allows dissent and unqualified opinions to distract the team from its goals.
