Pros

good with scheduling, decent management, come in on time and get your work done, and they'll pretty much leave you alone, you definitively get one weekend off a month. Really lax on callouts and policies.

Cons

Seriously understaffed. Lots of department floating. Can only give 25 hours or 40, no in between. No one wants to run racks of clothing to the floor, yet you run out of racks if they don't get run, the management probably won't tell anyone to run them.

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.
