Pros

What they can do with and for people that need help. Many are in need and this company is all over Ct, so it is them or no one, kind of. They could do so much more good for people.

Cons

Upper management does not see what is going on. They are in their own world and don't care. No job is safe and cut throat managers look like the only who survive, and they treat their employees really bad too. They believe in management by threats of your job and quick firings to back up what they say. Many employees try to work hard, or complain, but no one cares to listen. Just look at how many employees quit, not just how many are fired.

Pros

I enjoyed my customer service work - helping people as a part of a larger mission to help the community. I found it rewarding to advance to supervisor and pick up new skills and responsibilities such as safety auditing and supply management. And of course it was always interesting to sort all the interesting and unique donated goods.

Cons

A change in management over the past year+ has been very difficult for me. I found my work more heavily scrutinized and criticized in ways that felt unclear and unfair. The new manager had a clear bias towards certain employees, gossiped openly and loudly and often with explicit HIPAA violations, and made it literally impossible for me to keep track of inventory supplies as a part of my responsibilities. Communication between management and associates - and even between management and supervisors is very poor. Workplace culture has seemed to shift from being very flexible and people-oriented to more stringent on policy and focused on revenue. Trust in upper management is strained. Day to day if you stick to your task and focus on production, you'll probably do well. But for me it isn't what it used to be.
