Pros

Most of the people i worked with were nice but that's pretty much all the niceties I have for that company.

Cons

They treat their employees like crap. It would be one thing if Goodwill paid a living wage, but the minimum wage does not cover the amount of work they expect from their staff; not to mention the abusive customers. The $5 gift cards were more of an insult than helpful considering that they are raking it in hand over fist. I actually wanted to do a good job, but their emphasis on quantity made them miss out on the quality items that came through there. They claimed that they were interested in their employees suggestions, butt after 9 months they still hadn't given me the proper forms to fill out. At one point, the back of the store (where I worked) flooded a couple of inches and yet i was expected to keep moving heavy electrical equipment through the water. They have no standards regarding their donation policy. I'm all for fixing things up, but 90% of the donations are broken beyond repair and covered in multiple bodily fluids. I could keep going, but I think you got the picture

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.
