Pros

Except for having a job vrs none....There are allot of people that come in a treat you like a person then there are those that come in and treat you like crap.

Cons

The Weaverville store is very rude and fired me because of a back injury and it was inconvenient for them....I'm sure not all Goodwills are like this. Also they do try and brainwash you into thinking they do soo much good. This is what happens they get DONATIONS they sell the donations...whatever doesn't sell there goes to the outlet to by the pound then if it doesn't sell they take it in the back and smush it into clothes bales...and you guessed it they then sell it to a company that then the other company or person sends it over seas! I really hate that they play it off like they sent it over seas...hello if it wasn't for donations your CO wouldn't be making millions a year!!!! That's why I say donate to salvation army...a real non profit store.

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

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.
