Pros

Some good people, not too many

Cons

It’s who you know, if you have a back story you will work out just fine. But if you have a clean record no past drug addiction , you won’t make it.

Pros

Not one thing positive about this greedy company.

Cons

Unrealistic quotas that have to be met in an 8 hour workday. How are you suppose to do your job when the equipment you need for doing your job is out dated. Managment played favorites big timel if you were not a favorite you were never offered a promotion. Place was dirty, cameras were every where except the bathrooms to watch what you did. Managers were two faced and lied to employees all the time, Expected to lift 75 pounds and if you were lazy you got a free pass on everything. Stay away from "Greedwill" and give your donations and money to Salvation Army or any other organizations.

Pros

Getting constantly talked down to and disrespected for 12.50 an hour, if that's one of your kinks I guess.

Cons

I was fired for trying to use my bereavement time to visit my dying grandmother in Hospice. What a great way to cap off the emotional turmoil of an already terrible experience. Goodwill cares nothing about you or its employees, only profits. They advertise themselves as if they're trying to provide some great service to the community, when really they're just capitalizing off the misery of others in order to sell them overpriced, secondhand junk. Upper management itself is full of racists. Even with plenty of evidence accusing one of our Leads, she was merely transferred to a different store instead of being let go. They protect their own, not the people of color being negatively affected by their actions. And even then, she was only transferred because she was cutting in to their bottom line. (Aka, greed is still paramount to them.) Nothing happened to the manager that had been protecting her for years, sweeping all complaints until then under the rug.
