Goodwill Sales Associate/Cashier reviews

Softlines production/hardlines production/donations attendant is very repetitive but you have a co-worker across the table to be able to talk to for most of the day. Sales associates get a decent amount put on their shoulders. They are checking people out, putting softlines/hardlines away when they are not busy at the registers. Rotating out old inventory. Organizing items. Helping customers. It is a decent amount, but usually not too hard to handle. If you get backed up they would usually send people out from the back. Pay is decent for retail, hard to get full-time status.

Upper management makes all the money. I got highest raise of anyone in the store and was a 6% raise. There were people working there for 20+ years and still only got the base pay increase. So disorganized lots of internal strife. Look at tax income of goodwill in your area and see what the higher ups are getting paid. I think the president of the Atlanta stores was making $500,000 a year from a nonprofit but the to make it nonprofit they have to get rid of all the money or use it to buy a new store or supplies so I guess paying high dollar to the bosses covers a good chunk and the rest they can give to people trying to get jobs thru their career center. Jobs which you can't go anywhere or move up.
