Pros

variety of items found when digging through old donations and hanging up clothes. You definitely get a full arm/shoulder workout. If you get a bonus, it is a pizza slice. Good place for a 2nd chance after incarceration.

Cons

Unboxing and sorting all the new items from overseas. A typical day at work goal at Triad Goodwill of Greensboro NC was increasing production and revenue. Hourly workers are very very rarely given promotions. After 10 years of working, pay was $15/hr. If you do try to work there- keep your head down and keep moving and don’t plan to stay long.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
