Pros

The only pro were really the friendly people that work there. Also the benefits and discounts

Cons

First of all during the orientation they make the company out to be organised,caring,all about there employees and having an open door policy. None of these were to be true. I from exp had none of the things happen that orientation said would happen as far company dinners, award ceremonies...I was not even made aware of holiday parties. The management at my location was very unprofessional, showed favoritism and never followed through with anything she said she would. The training was a joke and I still to this day was never properly trained. I was thrown on the floor and register to only fail in the "correct way" to do things and got yelled at by other employees. When going to the manager about the situation I was told this person is always like this and I should ignore it. This was a horrible exp. The only thing is it had potential to be a wonderful career. They just need new priorities and management.

Pros

Goodwill has excellent insurance, it is probably the single best thing about working there. They have everything from short and long term disability to dental and medical all for $22 a week.

Cons

Pay is not that great. Goodwill treats their employees as second class citizens with little regard for their well being. I work in transportation where employees are treated as theives and liars. Its truely amazing.

Pros

They have benefits. You get a paid break every two hours.

Cons

The people who get promoted are the ones that try to get others in trouble. You have to work 28 hours a week to get benefits which would be fine but many employees are classified as 24 hour a week employees and then forced to work 40 hour weeks without benefits. Strict rules about everything.
