Pros
Helping those in need of training, job coaching and work experience through the local programs, such as 'welfare to work' . Knowing that what we sell is reaching those whom could not afford that expensive 'thing' otherwise. To have the privilege to help and work in my own community, knowing that a large percentage of our small revenue stays in my community. To work for such a world renown entity, regardless of the miss-management of our region in the past and present. Goodwill's Mission is worth supporting and I am continually encouraged to keep trying because of it.
Cons
Poor salary, not even comparable to other eastern Goodwill's. No promotions, or raises, or incentives. No learning programs No clear rolls of the command, nor clear policy . No incentives for my personnel Little or no support from main office, and certainly no emotional incentive to work harder,. working harder gets you only your self congratulations. little or no marketing budget little or no budget for store improvement
