Pros

Great community, easy to learn, has great start ups for those who have trouble entering the work force.

Cons

Sometimes you may have to figure things out as you go with lack of formal training. Management and leadership can be hot or miss depending on location. Store can feel cheap.

Pros

- It's easy to build relationships with regulars. They made my shifts tolerable. - Very "same stuff different day", if you're into that. - Overall, not much.

Cons

- Management expects you to do their job because they don't do their own darn job. - Their advertisement of a flexible schedule is a COMPLETE LIE. It is impossible to get a good work/life balance here, regardless if you're full time or part time. Can't work the schedule that's posted? Good luck talking to management about that. - Absolutely no sympathy during hardships. - You have to watch your own back constantly. Lots of "he said, she said" B.S. - Sick? Two points, if you call in. You have twelve points, resets every calendar year, (this is variable between Goodwill locations), even if you have a doctors note, that is one point. Essentially, you are expected to be in tip-top shape, have an incredible immune system, and virtually no life outside of work if ya wanna keep yer job! - Management likes to belittle and berate people. No matter how many complaints, as long as our store its high in production and sales, they're gonna stay!
