Pros

Being able to help others who cannot help themselves in the homes for developmentally disabled was wonderful, even if it was all to line the pockets of the Goodwill execs. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Cons

The discrimination against men in this company is outrageous. Also, the favoritism runs rampant there. In my short time at Goodwill, we had more than one employee (one was our manager) caught lying and stealing for the purpose of lining their own pockets with the money that belonged to the clients who were developmentally disabled. Doesn't get much worse than that. Those who are favorites can sit around all day while those who work hard (being a man makes it that much harder) are persecuted because they are not in the "in" crowd. DON'T WORK FOR THIS COMPANY as a DSP or CRMA. DO NOT DO IT, NO MATTER WHAT.

Pros

Personally, it is a consistent and reliable work. One thing for sure is that you will learn and also develop good work ethics, and you will acquire a sense of pride about the work you do or have done

Cons

Working with others and accepting that everyone is different and at various levels of working capabilities and communication skills.
