Pros

Goodwill is a great place for a person to get back into the workforce. It is also a good place for people with language barriers to work. Goodwill is great about allowing for persons with limitations to have reasonable accommodations.

Cons

You may not expect much professionalism from coworkers even if management is involved in trying to correct bad behavior. I had a coworker physically run into me multiple times (which I am sure was deliberate), discuss my disabilities with other workers, and run through the store telling every person that she could that I had done something terrible to her while she pointed at me when, in fact, all I had done was request that she stay out of my space -- something she had already been warned about as would get into my workspace for no reason (except that she seemed to delight in making me uncomfortable) -- but nothing management did changed her behavior and they seemed to stop trying even though there were multiple problems between her and other workers, too.

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.
