Pros

Some really amazing work is done through the efforts of Goodwill Central Texas. The case managers and staff truly care about giving their clients quality service

Cons

Because the company is spread so far across Austin, it can be difficult to have your work recognized by the people that matter. If you do not have a strong/solid immediate supervisor, managing to get the support from a quality person is not easy. You are also expected to put a lot of time into "supporting the organization" off the clock...unpaid but required (even though they do not say it is)

Pros

Except for having a job vrs none....There are allot of people that come in a treat you like a person then there are those that come in and treat you like crap.

Cons

The Weaverville store is very rude and fired me because of a back injury and it was inconvenient for them....I'm sure not all Goodwills are like this. Also they do try and brainwash you into thinking they do soo much good. This is what happens they get DONATIONS they sell the donations...whatever doesn't sell there goes to the outlet to by the pound then if it doesn't sell they take it in the back and smush it into clothes bales...and you guessed it they then sell it to a company that then the other company or person sends it over seas! I really hate that they play it off like they sent it over seas...hello if it wasn't for donations your CO wouldn't be making millions a year!!!! That's why I say donate to salvation army...a real non profit store.
