Non-profit helps community, doesn't do much for employees

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits for this company are fantastic and if you are good at your job, you can work 40-45 hours a week without much problem.

Cons

There is zero training for hourly employees and management level employees Many of the locations are in poor repair and there is a stigma to working for this retail company Although the majority of revenue for the non-profit venture is generated through the retail side, almost no attention is given to streamlining operations to actual increase these funds.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
