ALABAMA GOODWILL INDUSTRIES, INC.

$11/hr to work 8.5 hour shifts. Production is simple to learn, the job itself is straightforward. You cannot shop at the store you work at, but you get an employee discount at the other stores. You're required to work every Saturday and have every other Sunday off ( which isn't ideal for most people, in my opinion and I wasn't informed of that until after I accepted the job) and you're more or less guaranteed one regular day off during the week. You do feel like you work harder for less money.  There's production goals you're expected to reach each day. The environment is friendly, they're supportive and understanding and very lenient about attendance and will work with you on your schedule as much as they can. It just feels like you're there all the time. The only benefit they offer is medical, they don't have maternity/paternity leave or STD or LTD benefits. The PTO accrual isn't bad, about 3 hours a week for 40 hours worked but can't be used for 90 days.

Pros:
	•	Supportive, kind, and understanding management that is firm yet approachable.
	•	Inclusive and genuinely positive work environment.
	•	Job is easy, not physically demanding, with reasonable expectations.
	•	Employee meals, occasional drinks or snacks, and positive interactions with regular customers.
	•	Monthly check-ins with a coach who genuinely cares about employee well-being.
	•	Opportunities for career growth; management encourages advancement and personal development.

Cons:
	•	None significant; the role is very manageable and supportive.

Overall:
This is by far the most inclusive, supportive, and reasonable job I’ve had. Management listens, employees are respected, and the environment encourages growth. It’s a genuinely positive place to work with opportunities to advance your career while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

I started out ecstatic to work at a job where I would be getting a good amount of money as a college student, but decisions made by people from above made me feel as if the store was set up to fail. We were severely understaffed during the holiday season, and despite corporate promises we did not get the support we needed in a timely manner. Because of this, the few of us who could stick it out were forced do deal with a multiplied workload with management beating down on us over trivial matters.

I was treated nice and with repeated while working with Alabama Goodwill. 
I have nothing bad to say. They gave me a chance to work with my disability and provided benefits . And I worked as a Government Contractor inside of the Veterans Hospital in the mailroom. Excellent Job. I never would have left accept I had two major operations on my foot and I had to resign. But I am much better and ready to go back to work 

Goodwill is so unorganized that's everyday I went in to work, that's what I learned, the management is the worst ever that the company and as far as work culture this company needs major work on this WOW!!!
The hardest part of this job is coming in to work everyday to this company and having to work with the worst bosses ever.
I think this company is a long way away before someone can say they enjoy this job......

Started working and was not trained. l was told to just price items to what you think it suppose to be. They tell you your doing it wrong and wont show you the correct way.   Some of the people in mamagement just sit and give orders. Ive never see them actually work..even when its short and say we are a team. They let some people get away with everything. Will dig things up from months ago to fire you. Very petty in management!

casual day,learned responsibly and new skills ,management was decent as it have been.hardest part of the job were rude customers and enjoyable part is keeping yourself busy,make new friends with co workers and the customers and workplace culture were retail friendly

Overall is decent employer. Has people that cares and great work with but also has employees who are not great to work with.  Has good pto hours but Insurance is high. Also at times little stressful.
