Pros

Nothing. No benefits if part time

Cons

Okay.. as an employee... everything when I️ first started there was good. Never had had a job.. because I️ was young. The management is so flip flop and wish washy.. they will have you thinking they are for you when really they are working against you. They part time employees. I️ was apart of that team, did more work than the full time employees. They people who really busted their butts to do work never got credited for it. Was trained on the back but they threw me on the front with only 1 day of training. Their assistant managers completely over step their boundaries and get all in your space. Also this is a rip off company. Albany has experienced a big storm in the early part of 2017. People were donating to goodwill thinking that they are donating to families and giving them away. NO WAY!! Everything that was given to goodwill for free for the families who lost everything.... it was sold inside the store for various prices. Nothing was ever gave away from the store!! Disgusting. That’s why good will in Albany Ga would never get a donation from me ever. They do not help the homeless at all. Homeless come inside the store all the time and are asked to leave. Straight sad and disgusting.

Pros

There aren't any, you can't buy anything from the store. If you are a cashier the systems are very outdated and difficult to use, and I worked in a newer store.

Cons

Strict policies, lots of dust, short breaks. If you close you don't get to leave until released. If you work back you handle dirty clothes and items often.
