Pros

Helping those in need of training, job coaching and work experience through the local programs, such as 'welfare to work' . Knowing that what we sell is reaching those whom could not afford that expensive 'thing' otherwise. To have the privilege to help and work in my own community, knowing that a large percentage of our small revenue stays in my community. To work for such a world renown entity, regardless of the miss-management of our region in the past and present. Goodwill's Mission is worth supporting and I am continually encouraged to keep trying because of it.

Cons

Poor salary, not even comparable to other eastern Goodwill's. No promotions, or raises, or incentives. No learning programs No clear rolls of the command, nor clear policy . No incentives for my personnel Little or no support from main office, and certainly no emotional incentive to work harder,. working harder gets you only your self congratulations. little or no marketing budget little or no budget for store improvement

Pros

The benefits for this company are fantastic and if you are good at your job, you can work 40-45 hours a week without much problem.

Cons

There is zero training for hourly employees and management level employees Many of the locations are in poor repair and there is a stigma to working for this retail company Although the majority of revenue for the non-profit venture is generated through the retail side, almost no attention is given to streamlining operations to actual increase these funds.

Pros

Goodwill offers a chace for many people to work that most employers don't. Gret schedule and hours for a management position. Most weeks are 50 hours a week. No crazy hours.

Cons

Very low pay. Most employees are only paid minium wage and they wounder why there is high turnover. Goodwill is a stepping stone opportunity.
