Pros

Loyal customers, and most products are decent.

Cons

The downside of working for Goodwill. Breaks are only when it is convenient for the company and/or management. My store neglects cleanliness at all cost. I would like to clean but, I am not given time to sweep the break room floor, wipe off the break room table, mop the floor in said break room. The employee bathroom is nasty, and out dated. No one cleans but ME!
