Pros

I met some interesting customers. Most of the people I worked with are nice.

Cons

You are worked to the bone in an understaffed environment. Working here is probably not good for your health, with the itching, constant spraying of pesticides, etc. Don't bother doing a great job, because you won't get a raise or a promotion if you do. It is frustrating to work here if you care because mgmt doesn't seem to. All mgmt was hired from the outside. Mgmt works together to botch your performance evaluation

Pros

Very great benefits. Its easy to move up in management.

Cons

Donations coming in can get extremely gross. Space is small for all the product coming in. As a backdoor person you should get paid more than other positions because it is a very physical job from unloading/loading trucks, moving furniture, etc. Not very flexible with hours

Pros

One of the few things I liked about working at Goodwill was getting paid weekly. I also met some very sweet people there that still to this day are close friends.

Cons

They pay almost minimum wage, you may get health benefits but with the pay you get you can't even afford to pay the co payment to see a doctor or dentist. The store I worked at which was on Rainbow cheated customers by doubling the prices on red tag days so you would pay what they really wanted for items.
