Pros

Great for beginners learning how to manage people. You are given a good deal of responsibility which can feel good to the right person.

Cons

work environment, opportunity to advance, and is not true to their core message. This is a non-profit that gives bonuses to managers and asst managers which deter the person from making the best decision for the community. Examples are paying all regular employees minimum wage, even with 5+ years of experience, and overcharging for donated products. These things should be sold to the community at a fair price but these prices are comparable to most stores. Their job training program teaches people to work for only goodwill. All their "goodwill" they put out to the community is advertisement only.

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.
