Pros

Great for beginners learning how to manage people. You are given a good deal of responsibility which can feel good to the right person.

Cons

work environment, opportunity to advance, and is not true to their core message. This is a non-profit that gives bonuses to managers and asst managers which deter the person from making the best decision for the community. Examples are paying all regular employees minimum wage, even with 5+ years of experience, and overcharging for donated products. These things should be sold to the community at a fair price but these prices are comparable to most stores. Their job training program teaches people to work for only goodwill. All their "goodwill" they put out to the community is advertisement only.
