Pros

Goodwill of North Georgia is a very profitable not-for-profit agency that enables people to become gainfully employed. Because of the new labor law, Assistant Managers now earn $47,500 annually. Previous annual salary was $38,000.

Cons

Hourly employees who are empowered to generate sales should be paid more money! Currently hourly employees earn $8.00 an hour. They should increase their rate of pay, since they're the ones who do the pricing of the donated goods that customers buy. Next, management work six-in-half days a week when stores do not make their monthly budget. Management schedule is never final. Subject to change at any time, and it changes often! While vacation is mentioned in meetings, it is hard to get one. It's hard to meet the budget when you are depending on donation. And management are punished by working six-in-a-half days week, currently 8.5 hours or more a day.

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

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.
