Pros

Goodwill's Mission is great. Hire variety of different people. Good supported employment, job training, and ticket to work programs.

Cons

*Some managers(at my particular store) don't seem like they know what they are doing. *Not all managers enforce policies yet they ask cashiers to defend policies when explaining to customers. *Some drama between coworkers isn't always handled correctly, if handled at all. *My store has 6 different managers and some times 2 or 3 managers give you different projects to work on and want you to disregard what another manager said without communicating it with them first. *There is a lot of focus on meeting goals, whic is understandable but sometimes goals are set too high.
