Pros

Strong focus on mission. Strong focus on retail driven social services. Good community of people.

Cons

High employee turnover. Low salaries and little opportunity for upward advancement. I do think Goodwill prides themselves on the # of employees they have, but they don't really take care of their own and foster an environment where people would like to stay.
