Pros

Goodwill hires people with not only physical and mental disabilities, but also with "barriers to employment". If you haven't worked in 3 or 4 years or have never worked before, they will hire you and train you. Criminal past, they will work with you too. They also help to promote up and promote out as well. So you never have to feel stuck in your current position.

Cons

Low wages would be the con. Minimum wage is what most people will make here, but it will help you rack up experience.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
