Pros

This is a hard one... I had a job I guess?

Kontras

Oh man... where do I begin? I've held quite a few jobs but this was by far the worst... it was an atrocious experience AT BEST. I stayed there for 6 months due to needing to pay my bills and I'm surprised I made it that long. Ok, let's get to it shall we? Your paid minimum wage first of all, then your given the privileges of a student in grade school, after that you get a single 15 minute lunch break, management that is about as conniving and evil as sin, you get wrote up at every opportunity for even small infractions such as having a shoe untied and given a severe scolding in turn, you receive a massive plastic bin full of donated goods at the start of each day and if you don't finish it or there are too many returns (for any reason) you are written up, your expected to know the prices of everything in your given workstation to the point of being an expert be it in Electronics, Books, Clothing, Housewares, shoes, etc and if you price something incorrectly you are written up, if you back talk even in the mildest manner fathomable you are labelled as an insubordinate and the leash around your neck is tightened giving you a higher volume of write-ups on a more regular basis. I could go on for hours and hours and hours to the point of insanity but this job broke me like a wild stallion frolicking in the plains of Texas by a Cowboy. I have never in my life, before or after had such a horrid experience as working at Goodwill including the time when I rolled my vehicle after hitting a deer and nearly dying, I am not joking. I literally felt sub-human during my tenure at that establishment after the 3 Nazi Germany-esque region employee gatherings and constant punishment I was given almost daily.

Pros

I enjoyed my customer service work - helping people as a part of a larger mission to help the community. I found it rewarding to advance to supervisor and pick up new skills and responsibilities such as safety auditing and supply management. And of course it was always interesting to sort all the interesting and unique donated goods.

Kontras

A change in management over the past year+ has been very difficult for me. I found my work more heavily scrutinized and criticized in ways that felt unclear and unfair. The new manager had a clear bias towards certain employees, gossiped openly and loudly and often with explicit HIPAA violations, and made it literally impossible for me to keep track of inventory supplies as a part of my responsibilities. Communication between management and associates - and even between management and supervisors is very poor. Workplace culture has seemed to shift from being very flexible and people-oriented to more stringent on policy and focused on revenue. Trust in upper management is strained. Day to day if you stick to your task and focus on production, you'll probably do well. But for me it isn't what it used to be.
