Pros

Great people, philanthropic vision. Decent company to launch from but not to nest in.

Cons

Over worked and drastically underpaid. Social Service programs run by Goodwill are under renewal of Government contracts constantly leading to very little job security regardless of performance. Contracts are generally renewed based upon city and state politics (and kickbacks therein, or course).

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.
