Pros

Really easy to get hired here. I was in after passing an on-the-spot drug test and background check. The interview was very bare-bones. They didn't even ask what my biggest weakness or favorite color is or anything. Goodwill has a company-wide $9.50 minimum wage. If you're just entering the workforce, that may be more than you'd make at most other jobs you could get hired for. It's an NPO, so working for Goodwill may give you a warm, fuzzy feeling, I guess.

Cons

Rather high employee turnover – mostly from people quitting as opposed to being let go, so don't plan on getting too attached to your colleagues. Work can get a bit rushed. Not a place for people who want an easy-going minimum wage job, if those still exist. The customers can get pushy.

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.
