Unprecedented growth!

Pros

The unprecedented growth of Savers (Vallue Village/Unique) over the last few years is amazing. Nearly a 400% growth in IT alone shows that they are really looking down the road and being less reactive to sales trends than other retailers. Savers honors our charitable partners and look for ways to improve their impact through our network.

Cons

With that dynamic growth, growing pains are present. That pain tends to be in the form of communication. While it is clearly in the center of future plans, it is a process and we need to patient - the communication will catch up.

Great company to work for!

Pros

Rich company history as a family business that is growing up. The business model is based on reuse and recycling making this one of the original "green" businesses. Employees get the opportunity to interact with the many nonprofit partners that Savers purchases its inventory from. Every item sold in the stores is purchased from a nonprofit partner, which in turn funds the good deeds the nonprofit delivers in the communities they operate in. The employees are also great people to work with.

Cons

This is a difficult business where Savers has to process millions of pounds of product purchased from the nonprofit partners. Much of the supply cannot be sold in stores due to quality issues, so must be sold overseas so it does not end up in a landfill.
