Goodwill SOLAC

Higher ups are out of touch self absorbed jerks that don't value their employees. they over work their employees while not advocating for them in any real way that could benefit them. They claim to be a non profit for the community but don't even offer a separate service for waste and trash. Do not donate to this company they don't value your donations and transport everything together. they also don't let their employees buy from their stores and regularly sweep harassments under the rug and target accusers. 
a typical day consists of being over worked and underappreciated. This job will teach you merchandising and waste management. You will either be cleaning the sales floor or sorting through donations. the hardest part of the job will be management and upper management refusing to try any plan or idea that was not their own. upper management will talk down to you while also celebrating you with a 10$ gift card. none of upper management seems to get along with each other as they all don't really know how to do their  jobs well, and are all incredibly unlikable people. They are all people who only look out for themselves and are only eager to try anything that they could take credit of.   

I like to wake up every day to go to work because I like to make a different in a person's life. Given one good deed to others one day at a time is the most enjoyable part of my job. My supervisor is my big brother. My colleague are my brother and sister. We are all one family at work. We got each other's back, good or bad. We all have our duty to perform and help each other out. We are a TEAM of One Army.
I supervised and trained loss prevention trainees incorporated with Secure-Tek, Inc. Loss Prevention Training Program. I constantly learn new things everyday about my job. Especially with shoplifters, every shoplifters are different and with different background. I learned a lot from them because of who they and why they do the things they do. Underneath it all, we are human.
My Mother once told me, "Even though people do bad things, they still have their DIGNITY. Just because they steal, we don't have to treat them bad or look down upon them as if they are a criminal. They have their many reason and they have to answer to God." This is why my day at work is not easy and is not hard, because at the end of the day, I am going home safe and sound to my family. And appreciate them every day.

I am an sales associate./material Handler.......this is my third store since starting for the company late summer 2011.  It is a good company to work for and I always get along with everyone...... Management needs a makeover on some of the stores....... I am still working on my third store.  There is a controversy that doesn't make any sense : On the application it says that bilingual on Spanish is a plus.....sounds good right? Not no more because corporate is not allowing us workers to speak our language with each other...... The Corporate office should delete the comment "bilingual in Spanish a plus" because it is such a lie.  So I believe that we should not talk Spanish to the customers who only knows Spanish and we should not  translate when a manager who doesn't know Spanish is trying to communicate with a customer who only knows Spanish 

All physical work, without being allowed to slow down. You have to struggle greatly every day, pushing your limits daily in order to keep up with the demand. It feels as though they interview all management staff thoroughly then choose the least knowledgeable, incompetent, and disrespectful of the bunch. You are not allowed to have conversations with your coworkers at all during business hours and are only allowed to have the briefest of conversation with customers. A coworker who was previously in prison for a few years had a better experience there than working for Goodwill.

What is the best part of working at the company?
it is amazing.  They do so many things for the community most people do not know  about . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stressful? Like every job there is always up and down like a wave. Every day is different. But at the end of the day it all get done.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
 The work environment is very friendly and always sharing quality information to help each other out. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day , I get to start early trying to get everything on my end done, which is  usually the point .

Is a fast pace environment, were being a team player is the key on a daily basis. Everybody has a good work related relationship and very respectful. I learned to adapt cause a lot of changes are always being made. The hardest part of the job is to keep track of everything that me and my co-worker had done throughout the day. I get allot of gratification when the customer see you hard work and they thank you for helping then.

In theory, this is a good job.  
There are plenty of tasks, and management will train and place you based on where you'll work best. 
My schedule was honored often. 

Unfortunately, the lack of consistency (pricing rules, sales availability, tool/aid availability, workplace culture/attitude) and high sense of urgency made work extremely difficult. 

Goodwill SOLAC has been a dream job for me. I have a lot of autonomy in my job and am able to make a difference. Working with the community is fulfilling. Being able to make a suggestion and see it implemented, is amazing. We work hard here. We have a lot on our plate. We also play hard too. We have contests and games all year long based on holidays and traditions. 

Everyday i am stressed and have to call in on many days cause i am unable to focus enough to get there. i dont sleep, dont talk, am depressed because of this job. half of the management are all people who deserve assembly line work cause they cannot think for themselves and the other half are tormentors and bullies. this place reminds me of a cult, think twice before working here.

I was employed at Goodwill SOLAC for 4 years as an Employment Services Coordinator over the Health Care Training Program. I loved coming to work everyday. The culture was very unique and loving. However, management played favoritism and my supervisor was unfair and conniving. Also there was very little opportunity for growth and development. But overall a great place to work.
