Pros

The work environment is very enjoyable. You get to talk to the average person on a daily basis. If you are open enough, people who shop at goodwill will tell you almost anything. (advice, wisdom, and knowlege) They pay pretty well for being a "garage sale" store. Management tends to put employee horse playing in the blind spot and tend to make working at goodwill very enjoyably.

Cons

They do pay very well, but it took my manager about 4 months to give me a promotion. Managment is terrible, bunch of trashy people who have no idea how to run a company.

Pros

This place does so much good for the community that the community does not know it does.

Cons

Not a con with the organization, but the space is hard to keep up with compensation wise

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
