Goodwill reviews

I’ve worked here almost a year. - horrible management - HR is the laziest and most unhelpful department that I have ever seen. - If you make a formal complaint, it will not be kept anonymous, and you will likely face backlash. - Lack of proper conditions (extreme heat, extreme cold, black mold growing in the ceilings, wasp nests forming, occasionally no space to work, etc.), - Not enough pay for the work/stress you are expected to put up with - Have to make up other peoples’ slack - Have to put up with poor body odor from coworkers - They say there’s room for career advancement, but there’s not. If you want to advance, you have to memorize many numbers, policies, and even the kinds of labels you have to use for boxes. Meanwhile, they’ll hire in anyone off the street even if they don’t have experience for the position. - Have to deal with people who absolutely do not care how you feel about any of the above. - Customers are the most entitled people ever. They will call you names, literally scratch you trying to grab things off of carts/racks, and parents will let their kids mess up entire aisles and not pick it up.

On that note, the changes in leadership have been consistently every 3 years and we underwent extensive changes in 3 year increments. Some not always for the best. While we were a profitable and generally happy workforce, that all nose dived after our beloved CEO retired. The replacement team seemed to balk at our core values of integrity and this was even more obvious upon attending meetings where talks of covert donation receptacle placement and a fierce competitive market strategies replaced talks of our mission to help people overcome challenges to employment. Teams could not keep up with the incoming changes and the SOP's were not updated quickly enough to refer to. It was like someone turned off the lights but expected the same productivity and sales. Gossip, unrest, and people only out for themselves quickly took the upper hand.
