it's a fairly easy but also mundane job

Pros

it has an overall good environment. the people you work with and deal with are generally pretty nice. it's very simple and easy work and the pay isn't too bad either.

Cons

while the work is very easy this also means that it becomes very repetitive and boring after a while. i learned almost all positions in my short time there and was left wanting to do more only to find out there wasn't much left!

Pros

Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids is a nonprofit that has a bit of a unique twist. Goodwill exists to help people from our community gain and maintain employment. Goodwill pays for these services through significant investment from the retail stores. The retail stores are stocked through donations from our local community. Items that are donated are typically sold in the retail stores, sold in a bidding environment at www.shopgoodwill.com, sold at the Retail Store Outlet, or are recycled. Goodwill makes every effort to get the maximum value out of the donation that the community provides. Goodwill provides a values based culture, competitive wages, has a practice of internal promotions, offers extremely generous time off packages, offers a great benefits/insurance package, tuition reimbursement for all employees, and supports employees as part of the mission.

Cons

As with many organizations that are of similar size, obtaining all information I would like to know is sometimes difficult. With 30+ locations, this is not surprising. I know this is something Goodwill is working on, but everyone can always do more.
