Pros

Pay - Employment Specialist $20 Hours -7:30 - 4:30 - no overtime

Cons

Management is TERRIBLE....Unprofessional, Micro-Management The turn-over rate is horrific. They are blind to the fact that people leave because they are unprofessional, unorganized, and not good leaders. In the short period of time, I was employed I have seen many people come and go. The longest someone worked in the Goodwill Works Program was 4 years. Everyone else no longer than 1yr, and that probably was because they had to have time to find new employment. This is a terrible place to work. If you do decide to interview for the job, please pay attention to everything that is being said and how it is coming across. If it looks like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck...It's a duck. Please run as far away as possible.

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
