Pros
I like staying active and busy so the job of donation attendant fulfilled that regard very well. Also, I only reluctantly list this as a pro, but we were very knowledgeable of important issues only because they were constantly pounded into our heads as if we were in the military or prison.
Cons
I understand doing things right is expected as normal, but over time I noticed that we received almost no positive feedback from our supervisors while we were constantly threatened with firing for even uniform misdemeanors. I felt more like an inmate than an employee my entire time there. Even though we were understaffed and overworked, our supervisors reminded us repeatedly that we were expendable and replaceable. When I called in that my car broke down and I was unable to make to work, the next day I was handed a pink slip for not having a doctor's note for taking a day off. They didn't care that I wasn't sick and honesty didn't matter, company policy was company policy.
