Goodwill reviews

Goodwill is using the job connection as a front to collect funding. There is no true emphasis on creating employable applicants or positions which will better a persons quality of life. My role was to get job seekers entered into the system and then make tons of calls each month to find out if they are working at any local job so that the goodwill could take credit for assisting the person and creating jobs. We were basically a one stop place to conduct a job search on your own and have a resume created which is a beneficial feature for people who have never had a resume. Vacation time is accrued but I never could find coverage to actually take a day off. I was so burnt out when I left.

Everything else that wasn't my job. Management mistrust of everyone. Mistreatment of staff. Dismissal of needs. Anger when questioned. Retaliation. Willingness to let participants suffer in order to push GW programs. No flexibility. At all. None. My child was in the hospital, but had to use PTO for my maternity leave so came back to zero PTO. So they really did not let me miss work. I had 4 people on my caseload and would never let them suffer. It was a power play. I was there for 14 years. So stressful and soul crushing. Not the work, but the management. Good people left and Good people ignored. New people promoted.
