Pros

Customers can be nice, fun and different because you get to see all the different donations that come in. Sometimes white people show they don't like african americans. I came to a different world when I came to this country racist town.

Cons

Pay is minimum wage, Leads make 8.25 an hour. Where I am from that is a slap in the face, to pay adults with experience this little money in 2013. Management in the Sumter store is horrible, unprofessional and does not know what she is doing. I seen prejudice there, white people keep their job and does not have the qualifications to perform the job.

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.
