Pros

Goodwill offers paid time and a half financial classes. You learn a lot in these free and paid classes that feed you, too. There was also the incentive of an extra $250 if you put your own $250 in a savings account. Goodwill hires criminals and mentally handicapped that can't find jobs elsewhere (also a con). They offer tuition reimbursement, an awesome retirement benefit, low premiums on healthcare. They don't genuinely care if you are 5 minutes late to work, even on a regular basis. They will always work around your schedule. There is a resource service that comes on a monthly basis to touch base with employees about everything from childcare to food stamps to doctors. There is also a department that deals with loans if you can't find any way to get a loan for an immediate need.

Cons

The management team at our store all have different ideas of what, when, where, why, and especially HOW things are done. They break rules all the time for customers and employees. Hourly employees don't hold their weight. Expect jobs to be done incorrectly and not fixed until the Vice President of Retail shows up.
