Pros

employee discount, free life insurance policy, and due to incredibly high turnover, availability of overtime for "cross-trained" employees.

Cons

catty coworkers, micromanagement, no pay increases ever, the corporate spokesperson begun our orientation by saying "you are very lucky to work for us", they hire disabled people to perform simple jobs at the same pay everybody else receives, and expects you to pick up their slack, and most of all, they claim to be such a charitable company but they sell FILTHY, raunchy, torn and tattered textiles overseas for a very high profit. i cannot believe that a company surviving solely off of donated goods and tax cuts for helping the disabled and poor cannot afford to pay anymore than minimum wage to their most dedicated employees.

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.
