Pros

The mission and the customers make coming to work worthwhile. The direct service team is eager to welcome new people and you can feel hard they balance their efforts to be both organizationally compliant with innovative approaches.

Cons

Staff are given few opportunities to demonstrate their unique talents and skills, and stifled from innovative actions or initiatives. Praise is hard to come by, and exec. leadership personalities are demoralizing and sometime abusive. Goodwill is a place you want to commit yourself to, but you quickly see it as a place to transition from.

Pros

Great impact on the community

Cons

Terrible salary and hourly pay rates. They claim they care about the community, but don't do anything for their own people to make sure they're taken care of and paid fairly.
