Pros

Coworkers were great - had a lot of heart and commitment. The company culture is trying hard to be inclusive.

Cons

My experience was that working for GOODWILL is not a good place for people with disabilities. I disclosed on my interview that I am a person with disabilities and I use Paratransit. I managed to last six months in this job and it was a struggle with management. It took me four months of advocating to finally get a bench to sit on to wait for Paratransit. I couldn’t get the company to get me an assistive program to help me with typing. I think I was a perfect fit for this position as my skills and experience fit the position. Often it felt like a daily struggle as I had to explain basic concepts that apply for folks who have disabilities. I had 30 to 40 hours of work to fit into a 20 hour slot. My manager was forcing me to change my hours, and it would make it even harder to get to work using taxis and Paratransit. I felt very unwelcome from direct management and the workplace was chaotic. I left after six months.

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
