GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY

I've worked at a few different locations in the organization. Like with any job, some managers are great, some can be a PITA. Some have it set up where you can chat with coworkers and listen to music while you work. Others have it set up where you're isolated and quiet. But the company culture is very chill and more about constructive criticism than barking orders.

I had a rough time with the scheduling at the stores. Retail hours do not work well with me. The ecommerce warehouse is great if you're looking for a steady schedule and Sundays off every week. My only issue with ecommerce is that there's still a bit of a customer service aspect.

Pay... Well, there is definitely pay transparency. It's public knowledge what each roll is paid from the very bottom to the CEO. The problem is they only raise your pay when you are promoted and given more responsibilities, not based on how well/how long you've been doing your job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Supervisors were very helpful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Customers. I remember customers were pretty mean to me sometimes, and I have a handful of customer horror stories under my belt that I wish I never had.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's Goodwill, so it's going to be pretty nice! I got along well with my other coworkers, we were all kind of buddies. The assistant manager gave us oddly impossible quotas for our shift and I'm not sure if this was some kind of mind game to make us work harder with no real expectation but it added a bit of stress to the job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I clock in, I work for two hours, I take my ten minute break, I work for another hour-fifty, I clock out. Days were radically different depending on when I worked for the company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fellow employees felt like family. Hours were flexible, worked full time.  Time off as needed. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Balancing out register at night was the most stressful part of job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Different types of people, customers weren't very courteous at times. A lot of times shoplifters were aggressive throwing things at staff.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was on register part of day. I  loved working the displays.  Didn't like  zoning the clothes.  Working through the racks of clothes only to have my progress destroyed by the shoppers. But it was part of the job.

Goodwill is a great place to work because of the wonderful program participants. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is a good job for people that are passionate about disabilities and making a difference in people's lives. The most prominent problem is the large amount of driving in your personal vehicle.

It all begins with management, management is unfair and there was a lot of favoritism, very toxic and unhappy environment. The company and job is great it’s the management that makes the job Horrible and unbearable. But it’s not like that in all goodwill stores, I worked in other locations where management was lovely and the experience was great!!

Goodwill offers opportunities in various areas (Retail, production, donations, Admin, HR, transportation, security, etc).  There are several opportunities to explore different departments. It is somewhat stressful at times and depending on management, experiences could be better or worse. Great place to get experience though,  high turn around. Pay could be better.

I work in the retail area and enjoy my job and giving good customer service to our customer. It's hard to stay focus with all the drama that goes on behind closed doors.The company is failing big time in employee relations.

The was a extremely busy office,  a typical day was assessing clients needs, cross qualifying clients for multiple services across the enterprise.
