Avantages

Getting a job there is easy, which one expects of Goodwill, which acts as an employer of last resort, and the store management is friendly, concerned, understanding, and competent. Hours OK for a part-time employer, giving you the max number of hours while still keeping you part time, and store management will help make your schedule work for you. Overall, Goodwill is a good way to get your foot in the door if you're having trouble gaining practical work experience, but isn't good for much else...

Inconvénients

They are no longer taking employees full-time, period, regardless of what they tell you. Career advancement takes ages, especially as a part-timer. There's no sense of professionalism among the clerks, and because they are loathe to fire anyone (turn-over is atrocious), you may very well end up having to deal with loathsome co-workers for your entire stint there. Upper management is the real problem though. The quota system they use to measure productivity creates perverse incentives that make the store run worse, not better, creating overflowing, messy shelves and clothing racks and discouraging proper organization. They sell culturally appropriative costumes during the Halloween season, segregate toys by gender, and otherwise only pay lip-service to social responsibility. They don't seem to grasp basic business principles and refuse to listen to complaints and suggestions brought forth by clerks and store management.

Avantages

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Inconvénients

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.
