Pros
The best thing about working for Goodwill was the moral satisfaction received from knowing that you help out many people.
Cons
MISREPRESENTATION! Goodwill portrays that it is a non-profit organization, this is a complete lie! All of the donations that they receive are completely free, but what the general public fails to realize is that Goodwill profits off of every piece that is sold. This money goes to overpayed division donated goods managers, 2 manager conferences per year that include two day hotel stays, food, travel, and hourly pay, one manager retreat per year that is all inclusive, and one assistant manager conference that includes hotel stay and all accomodations. Add this up, and Goodwill spends well over $100,000.00 per year in pointless meetings and even more on donated goods division managers who are overpayed, and get the luxery of working out of their own home. This money cold be spent in many better ways. These stores also take away business from local mom and pop shops that have been around for years, and the worst part of all, NOT ONE person in management in any store across the entire state of Kentucky is disadvantaged or disabled, evidently, they are only good for the less paying jobs.
