Pros

Good employees and customers. Good to see regulars come in daily or weekly looking for a deal.

Cons

Poor management team who do not listen to the voices of the employees. No encouragement or positive roles to lead by example. Micro managing. Says one thing but the bosses/team leads will do another Poor work environment with extreme heat and cold, even inside the processing area. Overpriced items, even if they aren't in 100% condition. Wants to sell trash for money. No merit raise.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
