Pros

Most staff are genuinely energetic and smart, providing excellent contributions to their immediate and extended teams.

Cons

Leadership does not value culture. CEO Catherine Gaul-Stigge makes verbal attempts at fixing the culture only to undo any progress by her abusive and maniacal expletive hurlings toward staff. Former peers (the executive leadership team) do not properly manage the negative culture at the top nor do they check the frivolous spending on consultants and failed business ventures that the Board of Directors somehow fails to hold the CEO accountable for. This only further harms the people that need Goodwill's services.

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.
