Pros

Flexible schedule. If you like flexibility with nobody holding you accountable and no uniform set of standards, here you go. Soak it in because that is the only perk you get. I would say working with the clients is a reward, but it is very disappointing when management drops the ball on program funding, and we leave the clients high and dry.

Cons

HIGH turnover company-wide. Workforce Development. I went through five supervisor changes in about a year. Eventually became my own supervisor, taking on duties with no promotion. I saw about 50% of my department leave in my almost 2 years there, not to mention the high number of people leaving the company in general. If you do your job well, you are overworked with no promotion in sight; discrimination.

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.

Cons

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.
