Pros

- Seeing what comes to the sales floor first - Some coworkers are decent to work with - Company provides help with filing taxes and access to talk to a financial advisor to talk about resources within the community and planning for a budget

Cons

- Upper management does not listen to concerns and treats you like a child or robot - Company does not want you talking to other employees and isolates you so you may not talk to other employees during your shift - Company forces you to ask people for donations at check out, if you do not hit a certain percentage goal you get a write up for this - People often donate clothing or items that smell like cat pee or damaged beyond repair - Turn over rate was ridiculous, having to pick up extra shifts constantly otherwise you are " Abandoning your shift" and will be terminated - Managers will get in trouble if they kind to employees and will not be able to advance in their careers -

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.
