Pros

Like-minded, caring coworkers. Truly makes a difference in the community. Can change people's lives for the better. Good benefits. New senior management is making changes to help even more people. Excellent opportunities for job changes and advances within SOME of the programs.

Cons

HR department is like an exclusive club that is hard to access. HR allows it's employees to get away with A LOT. While new senior management is making many positive changes, some of the holdovers are stuck in the past and heavily rely on favoritism.

Pros

Sure you get 30% off all the time 50% if your store makes goal.............

Cons

This branch of goodwill has no real reality of ethics. NO insurance unless you work 35hrs or more (good luck getting over 20hrs) Raises are given every year 10cents if you meet your performance goals. So if you are 90% of the American population who work's Because you need $$$$ and Insurance this isn't the company for you!!!! Oh and by the way I'm a Manager (i.e.) none these issue's affect me, yet i still think this all needs to change!! Wake up GOODWILL........
