Easy work and great benefits, but difficult to become promoted. - Cashier II Goodwill Employee Review

Pros

The work is easy in general. Store employees are generally cashiers who are also required to do other tasks such as stocking clothing and wares, maintaining store cleanliness, and removing items from the store that have been there too long without selling. The store employee job is really fun just to see all the random stuff that comes and goes every day!

Cons

Production has very little customer interaction, and is focused on speed and accuracy. Employees are allowed to socialize a lot more back here, so it can be more laid back. The goals each day in production can often be highly unreasonable. This creates a sense of "sarcastic morale". Promotion seems difficult to attain with my own personal and others who have shared their experiences. Promotion is more centered around what kind of personality and "look" you display to the customer, rather than accomplishing tasks for the store itself. If you want to be promoted, you must be near optimum health regardless of your ability to be effective, and you must be downright clean cut.
