Pros

The mission is to help people find jobs even if they have barriers to traditional employment. The community is diverse, both the workforce and the customers. The managers are dedicated to excellence and set high, but hopefully doable standards for their employees. A great place to do court-ordered community service. Management works hard to accommodate disabilities.

Cons

Goodwill seems to attract shoppers with challenging behaviors. Customers often feel entitled to argue prices and et cetera without acknowledging that though the product is donated, sales have to pay for infrastructure, wages, and training programs. Job is high volume and high stress more often than it isn't. Employees with multiple disabilities may find it very challenging to communicate their needs to management.

Pros

Mission-driven organization that provides opportunities for people with barriers to employment (though it does not provide a way for these individuals to advance within the company, and often stops them from accomplishing any meaningful life progress) Coworkers can be supportive, and you meet a wide variety of people. The work keeps you physically active.

Cons

Physically demanding and often unsafe working conditions, with little concern shown for employee health. I've watched someone die on the job, and the warning signs were there long before the medical emergency happened, yet management paid no mind. Injuries are not handled well; reporting issues can lead to retaliation rather than support. This creates a sense of isolation and hostility, they will do their best to force you into quitting. Management communication is poor—policies are inconsistent and HR support feels minimal. Pay is low for the amount of labor expected, and raises or promotions are rare. Focus seems more on meeting production quotas than supporting staff.
