Pros

Great Co workers!!! Not a hard job at all. Opportunity for growth after 90 days.

Cons

Terrible work hours. Manager will change the schedule with no regards to your plans on your original off day. Management needs a lot of training, talk rough both customers and employees.

Pros

This is a hard one... I had a job I guess?

Cons

Oh man... where do I begin? I've held quite a few jobs but this was by far the worst... it was an atrocious experience AT BEST. I stayed there for 6 months due to needing to pay my bills and I'm surprised I made it that long. Ok, let's get to it shall we? Your paid minimum wage first of all, then your given the privileges of a student in grade school, after that you get a single 15 minute lunch break, management that is about as conniving and evil as sin, you get wrote up at every opportunity for even small infractions such as having a shoe untied and given a severe scolding in turn, you receive a massive plastic bin full of donated goods at the start of each day and if you don't finish it or there are too many returns (for any reason) you are written up, your expected to know the prices of everything in your given workstation to the point of being an expert be it in Electronics, Books, Clothing, Housewares, shoes, etc and if you price something incorrectly you are written up, if you back talk even in the mildest manner fathomable you are labelled as an insubordinate and the leash around your neck is tightened giving you a higher volume of write-ups on a more regular basis. I could go on for hours and hours and hours to the point of insanity but this job broke me like a wild stallion frolicking in the plains of Texas by a Cowboy. I have never in my life, before or after had such a horrid experience as working at Goodwill including the time when I rolled my vehicle after hitting a deer and nearly dying, I am not joking. I literally felt sub-human during my tenure at that establishment after the 3 Nazi Germany-esque region employee gatherings and constant punishment I was given almost daily.
