Pluspunten

There's a lot of good reasons to work for Goodwill. You get to work for one of the most effective nonprofits in the business, work on big and important projects, and often work with really smart people.

Minpunten

Goodwill, like most nonprofits, is perpetually understaffed. Unlike most nonprofits, Goodwill has no excuse for being understaffed, as there is a bottomless well of grant opportunities, but the vision for that is very limited. Being understaffed means that you will constantly have work added to your work. When that happens, your work will suffer. Managers will tell you that you need to focus on your core work, so you do, and then they ask why you are not involved in various other working groups and side projects and on and on, so you join one of those various working groups and side projects. Then the managers question why your core work is suffering. Burnout is very high.

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

Minpunten

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

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
