Pros

I had the best time working at Goodwill. I had an awesome team to work with and we all worked together. The pay was good but the hours seemed long.

Cons

You're on your feet for hours on end, it can either get really busy or be dreadfully slow. You constantly have something to do whether thats cleaning, putting clothes out, helping customers, or doing fitting rooms/cashier. I dealt with all kinds of people, some really cool/nice people and others were just horrible. You see every kind of person there and I've had some scary situations with some constomers, but otherwise you get used to it and it's not so bad. We didn't get a discount for working there which was kind of a bummer, but its understandable since everythings so cheap.
