Pros

The job is so active that you burn calories like crazy. You can eat whatever you want, however much you want and you'll still lose about 20 lbs within two months. You can cancel your gym membership.

Cons

The job is so active that when you're not there all you can do is sleep. You usually don't get any breaks working as much as 10 hours straight. While HR is trying to promote a more positive culture, the managers I worked with fought it every step of the way. The existing culture was one of passive aggression. Information was shared with some people and not others. Often it was kept from the very people impacted most. My efforts to bring everyone up to speed were thwarted. Mistakes were gleefully reported, but competence was not. There was zero problem solving - when I took initiative I was yelled at. This is an environment conducive to finger pointing and avoidance of responsibility. Manipulation and outright lying was the daily M.O. Goals were set so high that the departments were lucky if they made even half of them. It all adds up to being a no-win situation. I'm better than this, and you are too.

Pros

The people ("team members") I work with make the job bearable. We encourage each other and the support is amazing,

Cons

Management is as untrained and ignorant. They point fingers at each other and team members for own mistakes. Work conditions are atrocious. Being forced to put out merchandise crawling with baby cockroaches. They infested the toy department at our store.

Pros

They seem genuine with their overall directive of assisting low income families with access to quality second hand items.

Cons

The pay is horrific for what they ask of you. It is piece work, and the demand is ridiculous. You're given the items to sort through as-is, meaning there's a lot of waste and animal fecal matter to deal with.
